Chart notes

BALA FALLS was up close, a factor from between foes on the turn and from the five path at the top of the stretch fought gamely for the win. PRECIOUS BADGE settle off the leaders, raced evenly on the turn and rallied late but just missed. UNION APPRECIATION showed speed from the inside, had the lead on the turn and vied from the four path at the top of the stretch in a good effort. A GERSHWIN TUNE stalked the leaders from the outside and was roused on the turn but from the six path at the top of the stretch had no late kick.
