Chart notes

CARMEL COAST shadowed the leader to the outside, took over midway through the turn, opened clear entering the stretch and was kept to task. PAIGE TURNER attended the pace along the inside, shifted out leaving turn, launched a bold bid between rivals into the lane, kicked on but was unable to bridge the gap. OUR TWO GIRLS settled off of the inside, wheeled out five wide leaving the turn, finished well and was making up ground late. ESSENTIAL COFFEE was close up four wide, but weakened between rivals leaving the turn and gave way. FRENCH BLUE made a middle move five wide, offered a mild bid nearing the quarter pole, but failed to sustain the drive. CAMILA CATALINA was slow into stride, settled saving ground, got through but failed to make headway. BLUE FLAME SIX broke outwardly, was hung wide and never a factor. COLOR COMIN' IN set the pressured pace along the inside, relinquished the lead midway through the turn, stayed on to the stretch and succumbed.
