Chart notes

PERPETUA broke a beat slow, raced off of the pace along the inside, rallied while shifting four wide in midstretch, sustained progress to bid inside of the drifting leader in the late stages and prevailed at the wire. NYAD laid off of the pace in the two to three path, swung six wide into the lane, rallied while hanging on his left lead to drive past the leaders at the furlong grounds, drew clear before drifting out in the final sixteenth and got caught by an inner bidder at the wire. WADO WAVE stalked four to three wide, bid outside of the top pair turning for home, was fended off while getting outkicked by a wider challenger in midstretch, yielded thereafter yet lasted for show late. ACTION PLAYER raced off of the pace in the three to four path, fanned out seven wide into the lane, stayed on to progress in the final furlong then missed show after her rider stood through the final sixteenth. FLAMING MAMA broke outwardly while off slow, trailed in the six path, fanned to the eight path into the lane then moved up willingly. YASMIN set the pace along the inside, got caught by a wide challenger at the furlong grounds and faded. STRAWBERRY FLOAT broke a step slow, lacked speed in the four path, tucked to the two path in upper stretch then failed to menace between horses. MO BISCUIT tracked along the inside, aimed to split the leaders in upper stretch, but lacked a bid and yielded. SHARP MINDSET pursued from midpack in the two path, chased in the four path and between horses into the lane and failed to factor. DIAMONDINTHEROUGH raced close up three wide and between horses early on but gave way around the turn. ONCE UPON A TIME prompted two wide, got outkicked by an outer bidder reaching the lane then faltered between horses.
