Chart notes

CARA FELCE was bumped between foes at the start, trailed before being carried out wide by PIPINNA in the first turn, repositioned back along the inside, steadily advanced up the backstretch, shifted out five wide in the upper stretch do drive past remaining foes. UNLIKELY QUEEN settled off the pace, waited patiently until taking towards the outside at the top of the stretch, began left handed urging at the three sixteenth and rallied well for the place honors. STRESS TEST was reluctant to load the gate, set a pressured pace from the inside, continued on until being asked at the quarter with right handed encouragement, gave way to foes inside the sixteenth, held for the show award. SHE'S AN EARNER tracked the early pace, closed in four wide through the far turn to apply heavy pressure in the upper stretch, flattened out in the final furlong. TRULY AN HONOR bumped the outside foe at the start, moved up to press the early pace, faded down the stretch. IMPROVE POSITION tracked the pace from the inside, failed to respond to any encouragement in the stretch and weakened. PIPINNA settled off the pace, slightly rank in the early stages and cornered outwardly in the first turn while carrying out rival, trailed until passing tiring foe at the bottom of the far turn, made no more progress in the stretch. HARPERMARIE broke inward into foe, raced off the pace four wide, trailed by the five sixteenths.
