Chart notes

OPTIMAL COURAGE chased the three rival duel through the turn while in the three path, tipped into the four or five path for the drive, gained a clear lead just outside the eighth pole then was under a drive to hold. TALE OF FAME saved ground through the turn, came off the inside into the lane, split rivals near the eighth pole while three wide, continued with good energy while inching up on the winner in a good effort. BEVERLY PARK unhurried through the turn while in the two or three path, was in the five path when gaining momentum near the eighth pole and was inching up to the wire. EL ROSILLO saved ground through the turn and into the lane, bid and was a serious threat with an eighth to go then could not sustain the effort. TRIKITRAKI was in the three path through the turn while in mid-pack, came into the lane from the five or six path and finished evenly. VIOLENT GIGI was in the three path through the turn when near the back, came into the lane from the eight path and moved up while not a threat. SILVER MOON ROAD vied for the lead from between rivals through the turn and gave way. I'M WIDE AWAKE vied for the lead along the inside of two others through the turn and was empty turning into the lane. FENESTRA raced three wide into a fast pace into the turn, continued three wide through the turn and retreated through the lane.
