Chart notes

EXPLOSIVE LADY always within striking distance while boxed in between rivals two wide, shifted out four wide on the far turn, rallied determined through deep stretch under right handed urging and got up in time. RIOBELLA never far back, loomed boldly four then three wide, battled the length of the stretch and finished second best. MIA'S GO pressed the pace three then two wide, made the lead nearing the quarter pole, matched strides then length of the stretch inside the top pair and was outfinished in a game effort. JUST BE QUIET trailed into the stretch and finished well outside. VESPERA had a narrow lead into the clubhouse turn, was collard before a quarter mile, pressed the pace along the inside into the far turn then weakened. ROSE RITA made the lead two wide on the firs bend, set a pressured pace two wide than along the inside for nearly six furlong then gave way in the stretch.
