Chart notes

OPTIMYSTICAL settled off the pace, gained ground on the turn and from the six path at the top of the stretch proved best. P S CHARLIE BROWN was in range, saved ground on the turn and angled out at the top of the stretch but was no match for the winner. TOLERATE was off slow, moved up on the turn and from the four path at the top of the stretch finished evenly. HEEHAA was hustled early and had a slim lead on the turn but gave way at the top of the stretch. MAKE IT RAIN set a pressured pace and dueled on the turn but from the three path at the top of the stretch faded. GRAPES was in touch and a factor on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch was empty.
