Chart notes

LORD HARMONY was allowed to settle into stride from the break, then steadily advanced into contention late on the backstretch, bided time in traffic through the turn, found a clear path into the stretch from the quarter pole, then went clear in mid-stretch. MISS CHEESE BREAD broke near the back, advanced down the backstretch to be up with the leaders by the three furlong pole, bid for the lead at the top of he stretch, battled gamely to the furlong grounds, then gave way to the eventual winner but kept on under strong handling to save the place. SHE'S A BANDIT broke well but settled mid-pack farthest out down the backstretch, bided time on the turn then launched a bid from the quarter pole, came six wide into the stretch, had some trouble changing leads but still managed to rally into the third spot. PRETTYWELL STACKED raced mid-pack towards the inside then rallied to improve position whle never a serious threat. TALKABOUT tracked mid-pack three to four wide, made a strong move into contention on the turn, loomed a threat in upper stretch then was outfinished in the final furlong. NEON MOONLIGHT broke well and took the early lead, then ceded the front to SHE SMILED AT ME, was under pressure passing the three furlong pole and did not respond and went evenly in the late stages. CONGRATS CADET broke a bit slowly, circled the field on the turn, bid seven-wide into the stretch and finished evenly. A WICKED NUMBER tracked just behind the early pacesetters, became boxed in late on the turn, dropped the rail then lacked a finish while in some traffic in the late stages. BABY JANE was off slowly, spotted the field a big head start, rushed up to regain contact with the field before the turn, then was unable to improve late. SHE SMILED AT ME broke well, hustled to contest the early pace, led the field into the turn, then tired and gave way in upper stretch. DARK SKYER was always near the back and never threatened.
