Chart notes

COLT ROCK off duel around turn, inside upper, angled out, determined up. HARDLY EVER BETTER broke sharp, dueled inside turn, battled inside foe lane, game. MINELLA raced off the pace to turn, knifed inside lane, willingly to wire. EVANESCO dueled two wide around turn, lost step upper, evenly late. MISSIONARY broke sharp, pressed the pace five wide turn, flattened out. LIL BIG BOSS hard chase between runners into lane, faded final sixteenth. RAISE A RUCKUS raced off the pace and off the rail, came up empty late. DOC ELM fractious in gate, slow to stride, never threatened. IN HIGH GEAR chased mid-pack four wide turn, weakened. GOLDEN ADAGE very fractious in gate, bumped start, never factored lane.
