Chart notes

NEOM BEACH pursued from midpack along the inside, was held up and subtly shuffled back into the far turn, gained ground in the three path and between horses in upper stretch, tipped four wide and sustained progress into the final furlong, offered a bid in the final sixteenth, gained an advantage late and held from an outer bidder. SCHOOL DANCE laid off of the pace two wide and between horses, checked slightly around the first turn, spun for home in the four path before swinging out to the seven path in upper stretch, rallied outside of foes to bid outside of the new leader in the closing stages but was denied. SARA MIA tracked three wide, crept closer in the four path around teh far turn to bid three wide in upper stretch, wrestled a narrow advantage in midstretch but was outkicked by an outer pair in the final sixteenth. BREEZING ALONG vied two wide, led around the far turn, dug in to resist a pair of outer challenges in upper stretch, but was headed by at the furlong grounds, yet kept on to hold a minor share. AMERICAN RETRO brushed an outer rival at the start, tugged early on, tucked to the inside to track into the first turn, pursued from the two path around the far turn, moved forward between horses before shifting to the five path into upper stretch, but only managed to chase evenly through the lane and lacked a bid. UPHILL DANCE was brushed between horses at the start before being subtly put to tight quarters between them, trailed along the inside, angled out in upper stretch and moved up outside of foes. BEST CUPCAKE stalked two wide, crept closer in the three path along with an outer rival around the far turn, bid between horses in upper stretch, vied into the final furlong but tired. FEDERALISM vied along the inside, chased his outer counterpart from the pocket around the far turn and gave way. MAKE THE BOYS WINK was briefly antsy in the starting gate, brushed an inner rival at teh start, laid off of the pace three wide, crept closer to track around the far turn, floated out to the six path into the lane, but lacked a bid and yielded between horses. AMAZON QUEEN lacked speed in the three path and made little impact. BEACH WALKN took an awkward stride and steadied passing the wire for the first time, saved ground off of the pace but to no avail.
