Chart notes

BIG TWIST vied for the lead with outer pair, carried a short lead over those rivals around the bend, moved clear at the top of the stretch and held safely. PETITE MARIE settled on the inside, crept closer around the turn, moved off the rail in the final furlong, finished gamely to gain second and close the gap on the winner but was not enough. MISS MO BROWN broke inward, lacked early speed, trailed on the inside to the stretch, angled widest to unleash a rally, closed well from outside but got going too late. HAPPY HEATWAVE chased the top trio up the backstretch, drew closer from the rail around the turn, tipped out at the top of the lane, took aim with furlong remaining but could not summon the needed late kick. MAMA LOVES VEGAS settled outside a rival, moved into range two to three wide on the turn, angled out at the top of the lane, came in midstretch and showed a mild rally. NOT SO MERRY MARY vied three deep up the backstretch and around the turn, yielded to the winner at the three-sixteenths pole and weakened. CADEN'S GAL traveled near the back in the early going, saved ground through the turn, tipped out for the stretch but failed to make an impact. POTICA vied between rivals up the backstretch and around the turn, yielded to the winner coming into the stretch and weakened.
