Chart notes

EMPIRICAL vied with MAGIC JEWEL for the lead from along the inside, opened a clear lead nearing the eighth pole and maintained a safe advantage. NATIVE EMPRESS was reserved early, came out nearing the three-eighths pole, rallied four-wide into the stretch and closed strongly. MOCKTAILS ANYONE saved ground while being unhurried, slipped through during the drive and finished fast. OUR HULA GIRL was allowed to settle racing two-wide, steadied from between horses nearing three-eighths pole when NATIVE EMPRESS came out and then recovered to finish willingly when clear. MAGIC JEWEL vied with EMPIRICAL for the lead into the stretch and weakened. MELIDOUS SONNET settled in the back of the field, came three-wide into the stretch and improved her position. LITTLE MINNIE MO tired after showing brief early speed. SAMAROLU broke in then saved ground chasing the early pace and gave way during the drive. DESIGNATED RUNNER was prominently placed early racing three-wide and tired. THE JOCKEY OF OUR HULA GIRL LODGED AN OBJECTION AGAINST NATIVE EMPRESS BUT AFTER VIEWING THE FILMS THE STEWARDS RULED THAT THE INCIDENT DID NOT COST OUR HULA GIRL A PLACEMENT AND MADE NO CHANGE IN THE ORDER OF FINISH.
