Chart notes

ATROPA stalked three wide, issued a bold challenge outside of the leader into the far turn, assumed command and drew clear while well in hand turning for home, widened after coming under a drive in upper stretch, then greenly lugged inwardly in the final sixteenth with the deal sealed. MEASURE broke half a step slow whilst last away, trailed in the two path around the first turn, progressed four wide turning for home and sustained a rally to reach place at the sixteenth pole. KAYLA'S KOMET was bumped by an outer foe at the start, set the pace along the inside early on, ceded the front to an outer bidder approaching the five furlong pole, pressed before getting outmoved by an outer rival nearing the far turn, chased two wide around that bend to reclaim place in upper stretch, but lost that position to an outer bidder at the sixteenth pole. SEA ZEST tracked four wide, progressed to bid entering the backstretch, led while tucking two wide leaving the five furlong pole, but got headed by an outer bidder with five sixteenths to go and gave way. TAYLOR TIME broke a beat slow, raced off of the pace in the three path, surpassed inner rivals to claim fourth entering the far turn, but got outkicked shortly after and failed to menace. ALAS laid off of the pace along the inside, moved two wide and between horses into the backstretch, retreated to trail in the three to four path around the far turn and failed to factor. MIDNIGHT FLIGHT broke half a beat slow, pursued from midpack along the inside and faded around the far turn. MELODY MAKER bumped an inner foe at the start, prompted two wide, backed off to stalk between rivals with five furlongs to go, then faded between foes rounding the far turn.
