Chart notes

SWIFTWIND tracked the early pace from the inside, was well placed to the turn, angled four wide at the quarter marker then was set down into upper stretch, made a sustained rally to the final sixteenth, took command into deep stretch and edged clear late under hand urging. FLASH MASTER settled off of the contested early pace, tracked two then three wide to the turn, bid at the quarter marker then vied for the lead to upper stretch, gained command at the furlong pole, could not hold off the oncoming winner in deep stretch and was a clear second best. BLING IT TO ME broke a step slowly then was hustled away from the start, vied for the early lead and dueled for pace duties along the inside heading to the turn, disputed the decent pace to the quarter pole, battled into the lane then was overtaken at mid-stretch, yielded in the final sixteenth and was clear in the end for third. DAY FOR THE GRAY settled off of the early pace and tracked between rivals along the backstretch run, lost position into the turn, asked for run two to three wide to the stretch, could not muster the needed response in the lane but passed tiring rivals to move up late. GO PURPLE showed good early speed, vied for the lead away from the start then dueled outside of BLING IT TO ME into the turn, disputed decent fractions to the quarter marker, could not keep pace nearing the furlong grounds and weakened in the final stages. LUMINA settled off of the early pace, was coaxed three wide to the quarter marker, could not find the needed response to upper stretch and did not factor in the stretch drive.
