Chart notes

SALUTE THE GHOST was away alertly and dueled on the early lead, drew off in the stretch and widened late under confident handling. NATIVE LUCCI raced mid pack early, rallied on the inside and was second best. DELTA MARIE tracked three wide and went evenly late. GYPSY KAT pressed the winner early and gradually weakened. O SUGAR SUGAR allowed to settle, failed to menace. OAK MIRNA was no factor. BOLD POPPER had speed for a half, then quickly gave way.
