Chart notes

MISCHIEVOUS JO established the front and showed the way in hand just off the inside patiently handled through moderate splits, got set down angled four to five wide into upper stretch, held well and clear to the finish kept to task. SPARKS WILL FLY coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside until tipped to be just off the inside at the seven-sixteenths and in behind the leader, tipped three wide at the three-eighths marker placed to coaxing, angled five wide into upper stretch and ran on to chase the winner home clear of the rest for the place honors. QUELL coaxed from the start, chased along the inside coming under urging with five-sixteenths to go, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid. MAGIC IN MY EYES four wide in pursuit, got coaxed along with seven-sixteenths to run, tipped six wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. SAN ANTONIO SARA three wide in pursuit, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths pole, angled five wide into upper stretch, weakened. SUITED CONNECTORS chased two to three wide under a ride with seven-sixteenths to go, angled six to seven wide into upper stretch, tired. ADROIT chased two to three wide coming under urging with seven-sixteenths to run, angled four wide into upper stretch, tired. MIA SOPHIA chased three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn, angled six to seven wide into upper stretch and tired. MIDNIGHT HONOR chased along the inside under urging from the seven-sixteenths marker, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, tired. IWOKEUPLIKETHIS steadied at the start, chased five wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths pole, went eight wide into upper stretch, made no impact. TIZ IMPROBABLE struck the near side stall at the start and tossed his head for the few strides, chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn, went six wide for home and trailed.
