Chart notes

HOW ABOUT NOW stalked along the inside, offered a rail bid in upper stretch, gained command at the furlong grounds and kicked clear. MUNNINGS TALKS stalked two to three wide, pursued among foes around the far turn, shifted out to the five path entering the lane, rallied to gain place in the final sixteenth and held that position late. EZ CONNECT vied for the lead two wide, led and moved to the inside down the backstretch, felt outer pressure around teh far turn, moved back to the two path entering the lane, but got headed by an inner bidder in midstretch, yielded yet saved show at the wire. LADY SYBIL broke a beat slow and brushed with an inner foe at the start, laid off of the pace along the inside, then in the three path around the far turn, moved out to the six path while hanging on her left lead in midstretch, ran on and missed show. CORE MEMORIES broke a step slow, trailed in the two path, shifted to the five path into upper stretch, stayed on to knife between foes in the final furlong and missed a minor placing. BIRCH RUN pursued from midpack along the inside, then further back around the far turn yet moved up between horses late. JUST TELL ANNE brushed with an outer foe at the start, tracked two wide and between horses then lacked a bid. EMPRESS NEW GROOVE tracked three to four wide, bid three wide around the far turn, floated back to the four path entering the lane, vied through upper stretch but yielded between horses leaving the furlong grounds. EMPRESS SISI laid off of the pace in the two to three path, tracked four wide around the far turn, but floated to the six path entering the lane and faded. EVANGALINA vied for the lead with an outer rival, backed off to re-engage outside of that one at the nine sixteenths pole, prompted between rivals around the far turn, but yielded in the three path entering the lane and weakened between horses.
