Chart notes

BUTTERCREAM BABE brushed with an inner foe early on, laid off of the pace in the three path, fanned out six to seven path in upper stretch then rallied to reel in the leader at the wire. ITZEL set the pace near the inside, maintained a margin from an outer presser after moving to the two path in upper stretch, gamely held sway into the final sixteenth but got nailed by an outer bidder at the wire. SHE'S A TEMPEST pressed two wide, floated to the three path in upper stretch, ran on while being kept at bay into the final sixteenth, got outkicked late and missed place between horses. ME GOVERNOR brushed an outer foe soon after the start, tracked two wide and between horses, chased while movin out to the four path in upper stretch, got outkicked by an outer rival leaving midstretch yet kept on to miss show. BIG TROUBLE was brushed between horses and steadied early on, laid well back in the two path, pursued in teh four to three path into the final furlong then ran on between rivals late. MAE TOWN stalked along the inside, took rail aim in midstretch but lacked a bid and yielded. CYNANE broke a step slow while last away, saved ground off of the pace but to no avail. HUSH IT HONEY brushed with an outer rival and steadied early on, trailed along the inside around the turn and got outrun. SATIN BLUE was brushed by an inner foe soon after the start, tracked three wide, floated five to six path in upper stretch then faded between horses at the furlong grounds.
