Chart notes

DECIMATOR came through close quarters just after the start, then was rated off the first flight racing a bit off the inside, split foes three deep racing into the turn to press the issue outside the pacesetter, gained a narrow advantage on his own courage racing into the stretch and was roused right handed in late stages to go clear. ELLAS MY LOVE, in touch with the leaders four wide attending the pace to the turn, continued with a steady bid into upper stretch while shifting inwards a bit and prevailed for the place honors. WELD, urged disputing the pace on a narrow advantage between foes just off the inside racing into the turn, dueled inside the winner into upper stretch and weakened late. MYSTERY MAN came through some traffic in the opening stages to prompt the pace three wide between foes racing into the turn, then faded in late stages. HIGH FIVE COTTON tracked off the first flight three wide between foes on the backstretch, shifted out five wide racing into upper stretch and finished evenly. MAGICAL TALE was urged inside rivals prompting the pacesetter through the backstretch into the turn and gave way into upper stretch. SWAGGY GEORGE broke slowly, tracked outside foes in second flight racing to the turn but offered no closing bid. HPNOTIQ RHYTHM shied while ducking outwards bumping MYSTERY MAN in the opening stages, was taken up sharply dropping off the field, then angled to the inside on the backstretch tracking behind the second flight but offered no rally. RECORDER, held up between foes to drop off the second flight in the opening stages, retreated from contention early.
