Chart notes

FOREVER CARINA broke out at the start forcing KESHI to steady off her heels in tandem with WHITE TRUFFLES who broke inwards, chased three then two wide down the backstretch before tucking inside through the turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, took the inside route into upper stretch and then tipped out to three path straightened away, rallied to take command inside the eighth pole, edged clear to the finish kept to task. CLASSIC NORA shied in at the start in reaction to COASTAL CONFLICT, who broke inwards, chased three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coming under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, angled six wide into upper stretch, ran on willingly through to the finish to chase her barn mate home. LUCERRA coaxed from the gate, vied early on and then chased along the inside briefly before tipping out two to three wide, came under urging at the seven-sixteenths marker, angled five wide into upper stretch and kept on to the finish. VERY CLEVER broke in at the start bumping SPARKY'S DELIGHT, chased four then three wide coming under encouragement with three furlongs to go, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and improved position to the wire. KEY COLONY BEACH vied early on among a quartet before emerging five furlongs from home to duel with MYSTICIOUS to her outside while settled in the two path, tucked inside into and through the turn and began to shake off her main pace rival with five-sixteenths to go, took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared just inside the eighth pole, then weakened in the late stages. MYSTICIOUS broke in at the start bumping WHITE TRUFFLES, vied early on among a foursome before emerging to duel with the aforementioned foe to her inside while three paths off the rail herself, tucked to the two path through the turn and came under coaxing with five-sixteenths remaining when being shaken off a bit, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, weakened in the final furlong. WHITE TRUFFLES got bumped at the start by MYSTICIOUS breaking inwards and forced KESHI to steady in behind in concert with FOREVER CARINA, chased two to three wide coming under a ride three furlongs from home, angled five wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. ABOVE ALL ODDS coaxed from the gate, got brushed after the start by SPARKY'S DELIGHT, chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path through the turn, continued in the two path into upper stretch and made no impact. KESHI got steadied at the start when rivals took over her lane in front from both sides and was away last, chased just off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn, went six wide into upper stretch and made no impact. COASTAL CONFLICT broke in at the start, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths pole, took the inside route into upper stretch and made no impact. SPARKY'S DELIGHT got bumped at the start by VERY CLEVER, vied briefly with a trio, then chased five then four wide, retreated through the latter portion of the turn and went three wide into upper stretch, then faltered in the drive and was eased home through to the finish.
