Chart notes

ARGAN broke outwardly, set the pace inside of a pressing rival and maintained an advantage from that one through the lane. JUST AN OPINION pressed outside of the eventual winner, sustained her challenge through the lane but could not get by. INTO GOLDEN ROAD broke a step slow, trailed in the two path, shifted out to the five to six path into upper stretch ran on to claim show in the final sixteenth. ELLIOTT MOON chased three wide, then in the four path into upper stretch, bid foe show at the sixteenth pole and got outkicked. STARCOURT tracked along the inside, chased the top pair into the lane, yielded show to an outer pair at the sixteenth pole and faded. SOHANA chased two wide and between horses then tired through the lane.
