Chart notes

WITTS OPULENT LADY ducked in towards the gap just after the start, was corrected, then rushed to the front before the half, maintained a narrow lead through the turn, opened up in upper stretch, and drew clear in the late stages. SWIFTLIKETAYLOR settled inside off the early pace but within range, came under a ride approaching the three-furlong pole, tipped out to the two-path in upper stretch, finished willingly, but could not get to the winner while just holding on to save the place. SOMERVILLE was off poorly and raced well behind at the back, slipped inside of the field with a rail bid through the turn, and came into the stretch in third, finished well, and just missed getting into second. T'S LITTLE ANGEL raced close up four-wide, advanced through the turn while under a ride, but flattened out in the stretch. CUVEE'S BELLAROSE broke well but could not keep up with the early pace, tracked from well behind while four-wide, continued through the turn, and lugged in through the stretch but still managed to improve. LOVE ME SOME CANDY raced four-wide throughout and failed to menace. GAB'S HUMOR dropped back after a level start and was under a drive early, and tired in the stretch. IMAGOLDENSONG pressed the pace two-wide, started to weaken leaving the quarter pole, and had nothing to offer in the stretch.
