Chart notes

FINE GRAYDAR prominent between rivals from the beginning, moved clear for second two wide on the bend, weaved in some then back out under urging upper stretch, engaged EVIDENCE inside the last furlong, was all out and edged ahead nearing the wire. EVIDENCE soon had a clear lead, saved ground taking the turn, was challenged from outside inside the final eighth, fought gamely but did not have enough left in the waning yards. MUNCH bumped from the rear at the break, was hustled along from between horses early, two wide on the turn, fanned outside TEA AFTER BALLET for the stretch run, rallied belatedly but caught the latter for third near the wire. TEA AFTER BALLET raced in contention just off the inside, progressed along the rail on the bend to gain third, swung outside FINE GRAYDAR into the lane and also found best stride too late. COPPER CROSSING was an early factor toward the outside, failed to keep up four then five wide through the turn and made up minor ground the last furlong. CLEVER BOY broke a step slow and inward, bumping MUNCH, trailed from inside, advanced some on the turn, angled outside COPPER CROSSING at the top of the lane and improved position a bit without threatening. B'S TURNING POINT stayed well off the inside throughout and showed little. SWEET LITTLE RUE prompted the pace from outside on the backstretch but gave way between rivals on the bend.
