Chart notes

KEEP DANCING angled in early while settling at the back, moved into the two path on the clubhouse turn, moved closer up the backstretch, angled three wide into the lane, drew alongside the runner-up in upper stretch, took over with a furlong to go and drove clear. SUNSHINE BABE stalked outside a rival, bid alongside the leader at the quarter pole, gained the lead into the stretch, was overtaken at the eighth pole and could not match the winner in the final furlong. WISHTHEYALLCOULDBE vied for the lead with SLEW SOUTH then cleared that rival into the first turn, crossed over to the inside, challenged from outside at the quarter pole, lost command into the lane, faltered in the final furlong but stayed on to hold the show. SLEW SOUTH had early speed from inside then ceded the lead nearing the first turn, angled out into the two path around that bend, was up close from outside, chased two wide into the drive and lacked the needed response. MENSA ON TAP came away a bit slow, pulled and was rank early first time through the stretch and clubhouse turn then settled inside, cut the corner into the lane and could not rally. BIG GAME PLAN tucked inside on the first turn, exited the far turn two wide and had little left.
