Chart notes

BAD BEAT BRIAN pressed two wide, vied in upper stretch, wrestled an advantage at the furlong grounds and inched clear through the final sixteenth. SMOKIN' JAY saved ground at the rear around the turn, then swung four wide upper stretch and rallied in the final furlong to reach place late. JUST MIGHT set the pace inside of a pressing rival, sparred with that one entering the lane, got headed at the furlong grounds, gave way in the final sixteenth, and lost place late before saving show. BOUND FOR NOWHERE stalked along the inside, took aim outside of the leading pair in upper stretch, but lacked the needed punch, got outkicked for a minor reward in the final sixteenth and missed reaching show. SURVEILLANCE laid off of the pace two wide, fanned to the four path entering the lane and was outrun.
