Chart notes

XTRA SPICY dueled for the lead while inside into the turn, drew off in upper stretch and was kept to task in the end. TRANQUILITY was allowed to settled then rallied three wide in upper stretch, was gaining ground and was second best. BLOOD ORANGE was allowed to settled then rallied and was four wide in upper stretch, made a bid but was no menace. MORO NALA dueled for the lead while two wide into the turn, was hard used then gave way in the stretch. EXPECT LAVENDER was unhurried early while inside on the turn and was no threat. LA VALEDORA was inside and saving ground on the turn then faltered in the drive.
