Chart notes

FREEDOMFI went five then four wide on the first turn, settled on the outside, was urged along in the two path early on the far turn, dropped to the rail near the three-eighths and put STRIKING STAR in tight, gained coming to the quarter-pole, spun three wide into the stretch then split foes, rallied to the lead outside the furlong marker, drifted in around the sixteenth-pole and narrowly prevailed under strong urging. BAYOU JAM was in tight after the start then dropped in, saved ground on the first turn, moved out early on the backstretch, was roused four then five wide on the far turn, floated seven wide into upper stretch under a left-handed whip, closed well to make a bid outside the furlong marker, battled with the winner into the final sixteenth-pole, drifted in closer to that foe late and just missed while clear for the place.
