Chart notes

DANCEWHENYOUCAN led in the three path and between horses early on, vied with an outer rival whlie moving to the two path around the turn then drew off in upper stretch. MAMARSHA tracked from midpack in the four path, moved out to the five path in upper stretch then ran on to gain place late. DUCAT broke a step slow, chased from the two path, then between horses at the three furlong pole, shifted out to the five path in midstretch then stayed on to edge show late. WHAT'S HER NUMBER brushed with an outer foe at the start, prompted in the four path early on, vied outside of the eventual winner while tucking to the three path turning for home, proved no match for that one in upper stretch then yielded place and show to outer bidders late. CALIFORNIA SMOKE stalked from the two path into the turn, raced close up along the inside behind the top pair turning for home, took rail aim entering upper stretch but lacked a bid and gave way. AUTHENTIC ANGEL broke slowly, raced off of the pace two to three wide and between horses then failed to factor. I'M A COOKIE LOVER brushed with an inner rival at the start, raced at the rear in the three to two path, then between horses turning for home and failed to menace. RIDE THE BROOM raced at the rear in the four path, moved to the five path in upper stretch and failed to factor. PAULINE'S ANGEL prompted along the inside, chased with a half mile to go then weakened around the turn.
