Chart notes

MOR PEANUTS pressed the pace down the backstretch while in the two path, then gained command leaving the bend and drew clear under a strong drive to prevail. PICKINGUPSTRANGERS chased the pace while three wide, saved ground throughout the turn, then came out five wide to rally in the stretch, could not catch the cleared leader and was best for place. DOC'S BOLERO chased the pace while two wide into the turn, came out three wide leaving the bend, rallied in the stretch to gain third position but did not have enough to claim victory in the end. MY BUDDY MEL was bumped at the start, chased the pace along the rail, rallied leaving the bend to gain second position in the early stretch then gave way in the end missing the place prize. KEEPMOVINGFORWARD was unhurried early and did not rally. BAY BE GONE raced at the back of the pack, then swung seven wide leaving the bend and came up empty in the stretch. MY FAVORITE SONG broke inwardly and bumped rival, then set the pace along the inside, vied with outer rivals heading into the stretch and gave way in the end. SILVER AND GOLD tucked along the inside and was no threat.
