Footnotes ESCENA moved clear from the outside entering the first turn, set the pace well off the inside, came a bit wider into the stretch, responded when asked for her best in the drive and narrowly prevailed. BANSHEE BREEZE, within easy striking distance off the inside, improved her position a bit four wide into the second turn then finished with good determination outside the winner to just miss. KEEPER HILL, a bit rank at the finish line the first time past when being eased back a bit, raced within striking distance off the inside, moved closer inside rivals nearing the stretch but failed to respond in the drive. TOMISUE'S DELIGHT, outrun early well off the inside, commenced her rally off the inside after six furlongs but lodged only a mild late bid. TAP TO MUSIC, closest to the pace three wide, continued well for six furlongs and tired in the drive. TUXEDO JUNCTION, unhurried early, launched her rally four wide after six furlongs, came five wide into the stretch but could not menace. DANCING GULCH, reserved early, was angled out four wide leaving the second turn and was not a threat. KIRBY'S SONG, forwardly placed inside, was through after six furlongs.
