Chart notes

MADELINE'S PROMISE coaxed from the gate, chased briefly inside before tipping three paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked to the two path through the turn and remained patient while the leader widened away, came under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, swung four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command straightened away, edged away to inside the eighth pole, dug in under threat from a pair and held on to prevail on the line. SUNSHINE LILY chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking three wide through the turn coming under urging three furlongs from home, angled six wide into upper stretch, rallied in tandem with LEXI'S MELODY and was bumped twice by that rival from inside the eighth pole to the finish and missed at the end. LEXI'S MELODY chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking two to three wide at the half mile pole, came under coaxing with seven-sixteenths to go, angled seven to eight wide into upper stretch, rallied in concert with the aforementioned foe and came in slightly under a right handed crop bumping that rival inside the eighth pole and again inside the sixteenth marker while offering up a mild kick to secure the show honors clear of the rest. ADMIRAL SOL chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn under urging from the seven-sixteenths marker, went eight wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the wire. WARM UP THE BUS chased two to three paths off the inside until tucked inside through the turn, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, spun three wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then flattened out in the late stages. HEAVEN'S BOLT buckled at the break recovering outwards and bumping BIG HELEONORA, then got bumped by BABCIE, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coaxed along from the seven-sixteenths marker, tipped three to four wide for home and offered no kick. BABCIE broke out at the start bumping HEAVEN'S BOLT, chased five paths off the rail down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, swung four to five wide at the head of the stretch and weakened. BIG HELEONORA got bumped at the start by HEAVEN'S BOLT, chased three then two wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths pole, spun two to three wide for home, angled to the inside and was forced to steady when ST. BRIGID'S CROSS backed up just off the inside and was very briefly blocked but came up empty while not persevered with thereafter. ST. BRIGID'S CROSS coaxed from the gate to establish the front shortly after the start, crossed to the two path and showed the way through swift splits widening midway on the turn, had the field take closer order near the quarter pole and spun just off the inside into upper stretch, got overhauled in the vicinity of the three-sixteenths marker and tired through to the finish.
