Chart notes

COPPER EM chased in the three path, was cued in the four path midway around the turn, swung from the six path into the lane, and stayed on to draw past an inner foe in the closing stages. CAROLINA CANDY laid up close between foes in the two path, bid in the three path passing the quarter, took the lead while in the four path in upper stretch, but drifted out passing the sixteenth pole, and got caught by an outer foe late. CERVARO DELLA SALA (GB) pressed in three path, led while under a ride in the two path midway around the turn, flattened in the three path dwon the lane, but edged show. JUST AN OPINION set the pace inside, was coaxed along the rail around the turn, but faded in the two path down the stretch. FUN TO RUN tracked inside but weakened in the three path down the lane. AMY Z hopped at the start and always trailed around the three path.
