Chart notes

MAKENARITA content to stalk early from the inside, awaited room early on final bend, roused then moved up quickly to grab control inside pacesetter passing quarter marker, cleared in upper stretch and safely held under steady urging. WATERSHED MOMENT dueled or forced the pace while outside VRONAWAY thru opening half, advanced and grabbed brief lead midway on second turn, had little response for winner's move later on the bend, continued off the rail and proved second best. BLAME EVE was off bit slow, caught four wide into initial turn, angled over bit in middle stages, crept closer while three wide exiting second turn but failed to mount serious late threat. CELESTIAL SKIES tracked pace while outside eventual winner, continued three or four wide into the stretch and improved placing late. GHOSTESS was squeezed back bit in opening strides, settled off the pace and bit off the rail, chased two, three or four wide into the stretch and lacked needed response. VRONAWAY sent up along the inside, briefly dueled then set pressured pace to far turn, asked for more to retain slim advantage, relinquished control nearing quarter marker and weakened in the lane. AGUILA AZUL reserved from the inside, trailed while saving ground to the stretch then weakened further in the final furlong.
