Chart notes

BLAME IT ON ABBY forwardly placed outside the top pair, fought three deep into the turn, took over into the stretch, moved clear with a furlong remaining, remained unchallenged into deep stretch and held safely over the late charge from the runner-up. FORGOTTEN MEMORIES was off slow to begin, trailed up the backstretch, started to move on the turn but lacked room and had to take up at the quarter pole, angled widest into the stretch, came with a late run but ran out of ground. DANCING WITH SHARI tracked inside a trio of rivals, went two to three wide into the stretch and gained third. DAME IT DANI tracked six wide leaving the backstretch, challenged the top trio from outside at the quarter pole, could not keep up with the winner at the eighth pole and flattened to fourth. JUST MENDELSSOHN chased in the five path entering the turn, remained wide to the stretch and churned on through the final furlong. LIVELY GIRL tracked four wide early, went four to five wide into the lane and lacked a rally. NICO DIJO got put in tight briefly early, raced between rivals near the back, took the turn two to three wide and failed to rally. EMBRACING AUTISM sat off the pace in the early going, ridden along the rail on the turn, steered out in the lane and was never a factor. PENNY WORTH raced up close on the inside then moved off the fence, pressed the leader into the turn, vied between around the turn, took over past the quarter pole, lost the lead into the stretch and folded. SHE SPENDSALOT grabbed the early lead, took pressure at the seven-sixteenths pole, vied with outer rivals around the bend and retreated once overtaken. STRONG PROOF tracked between rivals in the five path going into the turn, got bumped at the quarter pole and tired.
