Chart notes

HOLLEN DRIVE was allowed to settle early, moved out to make a four wide move on the turn and came five wide into the lane and drew clear in the final sixteenth to prove best under a drive. SLAY THE DAY stalked the early pace four wide and then was ridden along three wide leaving the five sixteenths and came four wide into the lane and kept on to be clearly second best. CANTON set a pressured pace three wide and then drew clear two wide leaving the three eighths marker to be clear by the five sixteenths marker, came three wide off the bend but faded in the final furlong while lasting for the show award. FREAKS GO rushed up the rail to be close up after the first quarter of a mile but was shuffled back while in a bit tight by the three eighths marker and then moved off the rail nearing the quarter pole and came three wide into the lane and improved in the final furlong. KADABRA pressed the early pace in the two path to the inside of CANTON, then chased the pace on the inside by the five sixteenths and weakened in the lane. MO HIJINX tracked the early pace from the outside and then raced four to two wide on the turn while weakening. DAKOTA'S LIL AUROR chased the early pace three wide and then failed to menace.
