Chart notes

MIDNIGHT TANGO stalked two wide, bid into the far turn, led turning for home, met an outer challenge in upper stretch and held sway thereafter. EAST SHORE tracked two wide and between horses, was roused in pursuit outside of the leading pair turning for home, ranged up to attempt a bid in upper stretch, but only managed to chase the leader thereafter while being kept at bay. WITS AND WAGERS was off a bit slow, raced at the rear two wide, inched closer four wide turning for home, but leveled off and chased the top pair home evenly. LADY MERCEDES set the pace along the inside, vied with an outer bidder into the far turn, got headed at the five sixteenths pole and gave way in upper stretch. OVERINDULGENCE saved ground off of the pace but to no avail. AZURA tracked three wide but was done into the far turn.
