Chart notes

MOON SIGN stalked the pace outside STEP AHEAD down the backstretch, overtook that one near the three eighths pole, quickly opened up, remained well clear through the stretch under steady handling. STEP AHEAD set the pace along the inner rail, lost the lead entering the far turn, swung off the rail entering the stretch then willingly chased the winner through the lane. I AM THE MIKE lightly bumped with ASK HIM OAKEY leaving the starting gate, stalked the pace well off the rail down the backstretch, was well positioned in the three path turning for home, raced on his left lead and flattened out. ASK HIM OAKEY broke awkwardly, was four deep entering the stretch and gave way. DA BEERS ON ICE , outrun, moved to the three path leaving the far turn. LUNAR GHOST raced along the inner rail most of the trip and dropped back.
