Chart notes

EMBER ROYALE broke step slow then quickly rushed up to establish control, shook free nearing bend then padded that cushion around the turn and wound up crushing rivals while ridden out. NOT SO MERRY MARY chased along the rail, lost contact with winner into the turn, continued inside and bested others. SAVVY TIGER angled over early, raced outside rival then three wide into the stretch and was turned back for third. STAY MY GIRL reserved early, came in bit, chased while four then three wide and improved placing late. PAVULAR broke out and bumped rivals, settled off pace, chased inside, angled four wide leaving the turn and was no threat. SIR STAR bumped at the start, settled off the pace, raced outside rival, continued two wide and lacked needed rally. SAUCED UP dropped back early. chased inside, angled three then five wide exiting the turn and was also no late threat. HER STRUT was closest pursuer into the turn, continued on two path then between rivals and weakened. RUNAROUND SUE was bumped from both sides leaving the gate, chased inside then bit off the rail and faded.
