Chart notes

PURE JOY broke outwardly, stalked in the three path, bid two wide rounding the far turn, vied into upper stretch, drove clear while shifting out at the furlong grounds then held sway. ATI GIRL brushed with an outer foe at the start, stalked along the inside, shifted out three wide in upper stretch then ran on. PLAZA CUE sped clear in the two path around the first turn, met the eventual winner's challenge around the far turn, was bested in midstretch and yielded. ISLAND GIRL laid off of the pace along the inside, trailed in the two path around the far turn, swung out to the five path entering the lane then stayed on mildly. TOO MANY MIKES settled in the three path, advanced four deep with a half mile to go to pursue within striking range outside of foes around the far turn, then faded through the lane. UNA QUAEDAM brushed with an inner foe at the start, pursued from midpack in the two path, inched closer three wide and between horses to press the leaders rounding the far turn, but weakened in upper stretch.
