Chart notes

ENLIGHTEN stalked the pace on the outside in the two to three path, was asked on the far turn, made a bid near the quarter-pole, dueled outside of the runner-up in the stretch and prevailed under strong urging. LIFE AND LIGHT went to the front, showed the way on the inside, was asked under threat near the quarter-pole, dueled determinedly inside of the winner in the stretch and missed while able to hold the place. RIGHT TO WIN (IRE) angled in early, saved ground on the first turn, was reserved off the pace, moved to from the two path to the four path while roused on the far turn, chased the top two in the stretch, gained on the foes late and just missed the place while able to get the show. STEADFAST RESOLVE saved ground on the first turn, was unhurried at the rear, moved from the two path to the four path while roused on the far turn, turned into the stretch in the six path and improved position for the last spot in the superfecta. JUST FOR LUCK angled in early, raced inside to the two path on the first turn, settled near the middle of the field, dropped from the two path to the rail early on the far turn then was roused on that bend and lacked the needed response. SASSY PRINCESS was well placed just off the pace on the inside, moved out while put to a drive in upper stretch and lacked the needed kick. HEATHGUARD rounded the first turn in the two path, was reserved towards the rear, raced in the three path while roused on the far turn, moved out over heels i in upper stretch, bumped with a rival inside the furlong marker and failed to impact. FUNNY UNCLE made light contact with a foe at the start, settled on the inside, moved to the two path midway through the far turn, was asked for his best in upper stretch and failed to rally. WAR OFFICER bobbled at the start then bumped lightly with a foe before dropping back, traveled around the first turn in the two path, settled outside without cover, went around the far turn in the four then five path, moved out some under a drive in upper stretch, bumped with an opponent inside the furlong marker and was taken in hand then failed to menace. FLAT ON tucked into the two path on the first turn, was rated just off the pace on the outside but with cover in front, moved from the two path to the three path while asked on the far turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and came up empty.
