Chart notes

FINALLY FRIDAY stalked the early pace, rallied three wide to make the lead at the top of the stretch then drew off late under mild left handed urging while in the five path. AFFAIR TO REMEMBER allowed to settle, rallied in the six path into the stretch and finished well clear for second. PLUM TUFF pressed the pace two wide down the backstretch, made the lead entering the turn, set the pace to the top of the stretch then weakened late. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS drifted in steadily leaving the chute, was righted, trailed into the stretch then passed tiring rivals. WILLIE T well placed, failed to respond. VANADIUM set a pressured pace along the inside down the backstretch and was through after a half.
