Chart notes

BEACH BELLE coaxed from the gate, established the front just outside five furlongs to run and showed the way in hand just off the inside, remained patiently handled and continued just off the inside into upper stretch, got roused straightened away and edged clear under a drive to prevail. CODY'S APPROVAL chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coming under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive running on to the finish to secure the place honors. HAMMERS NICKEL chased three then two wide under encouragement from the five-sixteenths pole, angled three to four wide for home, kept on to procure the show honors. CAPODOST brushed the off side stall at the start, chased four then three wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths marker, went eight wide into upper stretch and improved position to the finish. JUANA MARGARITA veered out at the break and was corrected, crossed to the three path soon after the start and chased three paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked inside through the turn coming under urging midway, went nine wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals to the end. CREAM OF THE CROP brushed the near side stall at the start and then continued inwards to make contact with the hind end of MY SWEET 'EM, chased three then two wide under urging from three furlongs out, tipped three to four wide for home, improved some position to the eighth pole, then weakened in the final furlong. GOODPROBLEMTOHAVE bobbled after the break, chased five then three wide under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and tired. GUSTAVIA chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn coaxed along from three furlongs out, went eight wide at the top of the stretch and tired. WE GOIN pulled eager and a bit unsettled chasing along the inside, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside at the head of the stretch and tired. MY SWEET 'EM stumbled at the start then got bumped in the hind end by CREAM OF THE CROP, who came inwards, chased just off the inside down the backstretch and then two to three wide through the turn, came under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, went five to six wide into upper stretch and tired.
