Chart notes

HIGHLANDS broke a step slow from outside, steered down to the rail trailing early, inched closer up the backstretch, had to pause briefly behind INTO YELLOWSTONE and altered out to the three path midway around the far turn, challenged ACCLAIMED PREACHER into the stretch, took over with a furlong left to run and drew off in deep stretch. ACCLAIMED PREACHER broke well then raced keenly under some restraint three deep into the first turn, moved into the two path chasing the leaders around the clubhouse turn, bid three deep on the second bend, cleared past the quarter pole but was soon challenged by HIGHLANDS entering the lane, dueled to the eighth pole and was no match for the winner in the furlongs grounds but stayed on to secure the place. SAKURA BLOSSOM tracked in the two path, trailed on the inside into the far turn, came two wide into the stretch, moved to with striking distance with a furlong left to run but finished evenly late. MISS PIXY STIX dueled for command from inside, fought inside rivals on the far turn, lost touch with ACCLAIMED PREACHER past the quarter pole and weakened. INTO YELLOWSTONE off slow in the beginning, rushed up between rivals then dueled outside MISS PIXY STICK, fought between on the far turn then started to weaken around the bend and retreated in the stretch.
