Chart notes

FLY CONDOR was in a steady drive to chase the pace from the two path into the turn, then dug in gamely mid stretch to surge past the pace setter and was up just in time for the win. HAPPY IN HEELS lead the way down the backstretch and into the turn, was in a hard drive down the lane but was caught by an outside rival and was second best. WILD EXPRESS was in a steady drive while two wide into the turn, then rallied in the upper stretch to close willingly in the stretch but it was not enough. GRACIE'S KITTEN raced about four wide, then was bumped by an inner rival entering the turn, re rallied then closed well in the stretch but it was not enough. SKY ROCKER was unhurried early, then bumped rival about the five sixteenths pole, rebid on the turn but came up empty in the stretch. CHARMING LEAH chased the pace while three wide, bid while four wide on the turn then flattened out in the end. WITT'S GRIS was unhurried early then bid three wide on the turn and was no threat. IRISH WRIT chased the pace along the inside, then slowly faded throughout the turn and had no final bid. ITA settled along the inside and was no menace.
