Chart notes

SHINOBU broke sharply and set the pace then opened up on the turn and was roused at the top of the stretch, drawing away to win easily. VALIDIDA rated in the second flight early with a rail trip then waited through the turn then slipped through along the inside into the stretch and rallied late for place. MADDY MANIA rated in the middle of the pack early then angled out at the 1/4 pole and looked for room, splitting horses mid-stretch and was full of run late. NEWHOPE rated in the second flight early between horses then altered five wide nearing the 1/8 pole and made a bid between horses, gaining late. KABIN EIGHT rated in the middle of the pack early, racing four wide through the turn then altered eight wide into the stretch and made a mild rally late. ALLIEMAE was hustled away and chased the pace along the inside then battled into the stretch but was outfinished late. PEACE MISSION was void of early speed with a five wide trip through the turn then angled nine wide into the stretch and closed willingly. ALOHA KIM got squeezed at the start and showed no speed early then ducked in at the 3/16 pole and made a mild rally late. FAN'S CHOICE got off a step slowly and settled then circled while six wide on the turn but failed to sustain that bid into the stretch. SHARPLY was reluctant to load into the gate then chased the pace while three wide early and contended for a half mile then gave way in the stretch. STIRRUP was void of early speed then made a four wide bid nearing the 3/8 pole but flattened out in the stretch.
