Chart notes

ROSE DARLING veered out at the start, raced in close, challenged three across turn, swung seven wide entering the stretch, assumed command and inched away late under urging. MISS MAXIMUS raced inside, angled out into the turn, was carried eight wide entering the stretch, bid willingly to contend, hung late and held for place. WATERING broke awkwardly to be last away, rallied four wide on the turn, shifted in entering the stretch, bid willingly and didn't have enough late. BLESSED ASSURANCE raced close to the pace, got through along the rail on the turn, bid to loom a threat and came up empty. SWEET ALEXIS moved up to set a pressured pace to the turn, weakened and gave way. LIAM'S MIST led early while racing in hand, continued to vie when headed to the turn and gave way. GIRL THIRSTY trailed the field, lacked a response and showed little.
