Chart notes

BLAZING FREEDOM broke a bit outwardly, led while moving to the two path into the turn, dueled with an outer bidder leaving the three furlong pole, got briefly headed entering the lane, yet shook free of that one passing the furlong grounds and drove clear. LIGHT MY FLAME raced forwardly along the inside before subtly checking back at the nine sixteenths pole, pursued further back in the two to three path around the turn, swung out to the five path in upper stretch and rallied to gain place in the final sixteenth. SYNOPTIC leaned outwardly and bumped a rival at the start, raced forwardly in the three path and between horses before brushing with those foes at the nine sixteenths pole, chased in the three path around the turn, moved out to the four path in upper stretch, stayed on to bid for place along with an outer rival late but got outkicked. WANNA GO HOME broke a bit outwardly, tracked outside of rivals, moved forward to press teh leader while tucking to the three path into the turn, sparked a duel passing the three furlong pole, led very narrowly into the lane, but relinquished the front back to his inner counterpart in upper stretch, yielded passing the furlong grounds and weakened late. STARLIT NITE stalked near the inside, brushed with an outer foe at the nine sixteenths pole, chased along the inside around the turn and lacked a bid. RUN MAMA RUN raced off of the pace in the four to five path and failed to menace. ZAFYRE lacked speed in the four path and made little impact. SMOOCHIE BOO saved ground at the rear and got outrun. CAROL'S MELODY was bumped by an inner rival at the start, raced forwardly four wide and between horses, got rank while brushing with an inner counterpart at the nine sixteenths pole, dropped back shortly after and steadily faded.
