Chart notes

KAVALA rated from the three path, moved up around the turn under a drive and swung out to the eight path turning into the lane, and rallied down the center to win. TOVIA set the pace inside, was cued to open up from the two path going into the stretch, and responded well but was caught by the winner nearing the sixteenth pole to finish with place honors. VALIANT SHI SHI broke out and bumped TWO BEER BUZZ at the start, tracked in the three path, was driven from the five path into the stretch, and evened out for show. FIA FIRST prompted the early pace from the three path but flattened in the stretch. GO MIKA chased along the inside but was no factor. TWO BEER BUZZ got bumped by VALIANT SHI SHI at the start, was hustled along in the five path, floated out to the seven path going into the stretch, and was tired. AWESOME MARINA trailed from the two path into the turn and was never able to threaten. MY MICROBURST stalked in the two path but backed up rounding the turn. ALWAYS SUN raced from wellback in the three path but never menaced.
