Chart notes

STRATEGIC BIRD broke sharply, sprinted to the lead along the rail, dictated the pace on a narrow advantage into the turn, met the challenge of DEVINE CHARGER dueling with that one into upper stretch and grudgingly maintained the advantage under firm handling. DEVINE CHARGER exchanged bumps with JACKKNIFE at the start, was righted to pursue the pacesetter between foes in the opening quarter, gained terms with that rival on the bend to press the issue into upper stretch and continued willingly to dispute the issue to the end. CHASING HAPPINESS, squeezed at the break, then steadied, tracked off the second flight to the turn, split foes midway through the bend and continued with a steady effort to gain a share while never menacing the top pair. SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL broke readily, was guided to the rail in early stages tracking inside foes in second flight, saved ground to upper stretch but had no closing bid. DEVILETTE, forwardly placed four wide in the opening quarter, faded between foes into the stretch. TAHAWEEL ducked out at the start, then trailed the field to the stretch while proving no threat. SHE'S MY WARRIOR broke inwards bumping SHE'S PEACHY KEEN, flashed brief pace three wide between foes, angled inwards early tracking off the first flight and faded into the lane. JACKKNIFE exchanged bumps at the start, was settled inside foes and proved no threat. SHE'S PEACHY KEEN, bumped, then squeezed back avoiding tight quarters at the start, was urged to advance making brief progress five wide racing into the bend but gave way nearing the lane.
