Chart notes

PLAY ON PLAYER vied for the early lead, drove clear around the final turn, was all out and just held off GEM SAUCE for the win. GEM SAUCE unhurried in the early going, made a steady gain, saved ground around the final turn, angled out, split rivals down the lane, made a bid and just missed. OCEAN'S APPEAL raced within striking distance, was close throughout, saved ground around the final turn and was outfinished by the top two. MELISSA GALE broke out, bumped the gate, raced within contention, came around the first turn on the outside, made a wide bid and finished evenly. RUNNING FAITH raced in the middle of the field, put forth an even effort and was never a factor. METRY MAMA challenged for the early lead and faded. PRINCESS DEEANA raced evenly near the back and was never a threat. RUN NORMA RUN broke well, quickly dropped back and was no threat late. SECRET ROLLS pressed the early pace, retreated and was done.
