Chart notes

OPTIMAL COURAGE vied for the lead along the inside of the runner-up and in the two path, continued on near even terms inside the eighth pole then edged clear clear late. ELLE'SBIGSEACRET vied for the lead two wide and in the three path, continued as a serious menace inside the eighth pole then could not keep up late while giving ground grudgingly. TALE OF FAME raced in the four path through the turn, came into the lane from the five path with aim on the top ones and lacked a closing response. KITTENS ADAIR pressed the pace three wide early, chased the leaders through the turn and into the lane then faded. FOLLOW THE SIGNS saved ground into the lane to no avail.
