Chart notes

MAYBE DOLCIE was allowed to settle after the start, advanced in the two-path up the backstretch to join the main pack heading into the turn, deftly navigated a path through rivals on the far turn without losing any momentum, emerged from the pack into the straight with a clear lead, opened up and held safe from a closing rival while under steady handling. FINE FINISH raced at the back of the second flight, kept to the inside path, tipped out three-wide for the stretch run, finished up well, closed the margin on the leader but ran out of time. LUCKY SPEECH was three-wide in the tracking group, came four-wide into the stretch, and finished well but came up short. MOONLIGHT GAMBLER brought up the rear well behind the rest through the first half, launched a bid midway through the turn while keeping to the inside, and improved despite flattening a bit in the final furlong. NINTH ISLAND raced at the head of the tracking group, was unconcerned with the runaway leader through the first half, then let the charge to reel in that foe on the turn pulled even near the quarter pole, but lacked the necessary response in the stretch and failed to menace. MORNING MIRACLE broke best and was steered, but not rushed to the lead on the first turn, opened up a big lead leaving the first turn as the rider attempted to slow pace, came back to the field after passing the half-mile pole, then tried to fight back as the field caught up late on the turn, but was outkicked in the stretch.
