Chart notes

STELLAR CAP pressed between rivals, inched ahead along the rail at the five-sixteenths pole, carried a short lead over FLY A FANTASY into the lane and held gamely to the wire. FLY A FANTASY pressed four then three deep up the backstretch, fought outside the top pair to the quarter pole, dueled outside STELLAR CAP into the stretch, hounded that rival through the lane but could not summon the needed late kick to overtake the winner. PUTT FOR DOUGH chased outside a rival then moved into the two path for the turn, spun three wide off the turn, followed within striking distance into the final furlong but could not find the late punch in deep stretch. IFUAINTFIRSTURLAST dropped back early under coaxing, went three wide into the turn, chased three deep midway around the bend, got floated out to the five path and improved position down the lane. PERFECT IN GRAY bobbled slightly at the start, raced up close on the inside then paused at the half-mile pole to dropped back a bit while still in range, drifted out around the bend and weakened in the drive. MISS PIXY STIX stumbled leaving the gate, chased under coaxing off the rail, had to pause behind PERFECT IN GRAY leaving the backstretch, got floated out and crowded between rivals on the turn, lost her path entering the lane and weakened. JEWELOFAKID set the pace under pressure between rivals, lost command outside the five-sixteenths pole, fought between then lost touch with the top pair with a quarter mile remaining, chased two wide into the lane and faded.
