Chart notes

WHERE IS ESSA set a pressured pace, had a slim lead on the turn, vied through the stretch and fought gamely for the win. OK SPEEDY forced the pace, was a factor from between foes on the turn and from the three path at the top of the stretch was second best in a good effort. HEAT MERCHANT was off the pace, moved up on the turn and from the five path at the top of the stretch finished well. RYE'S MY GUY was unhurried early, saved ground on the turn and was up for a share. NAMEOFTHEGAME dueled early and forced the pace on the turn but from the four path at the top of the stretch had nothing left. HALF TO RELOAD was in touch and roused on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch had no response. WET AND WILD was in range but lost ground on the turn and from the seven path at the top of the stretch was not a factor.
