Chart notes

AIM HIGHER was well placed while two wide into the first turn, then lead the way down the backstretch and into the far turn, was met with contention from rivals on both sides, then inched away to duel with PURE CONNECTION in the late stretch and was up just in time to prove best. PURE CONNECTION was allowed to settled along the inside, saved ground well behind the group on the backstretch, then was gaining on the far turn to rally in the upper stretch, then dueled with the pace setter in late stretch and hung in the end. LADLE chased the pace while in the two path throughout the first half, then bid gamely on the far turn in the early stretch, could not find room between the vying leaders, angled in towards the rail then continued to bid with what was left but it was not enough. EURCOOL broke outwardly at the start, gained the brief lead into the first turn then settled back along the inside down the backstretch then continued to flattened out throughout the second half. STRANGE JOY chased the early while three wide in the middle of the pack then settled back and was no menace. FOXY ELAINE settled along the inside and was thru after the half.
