Chart notes

MARCOS PERFORMANCE took a bump leaving the gate, raced up close, challenged from outside at the seven-sixteenths pole, fought head to head down the lane and won the bob at the wire. SENDIT MO broke a step slow then went up to take control, took pressure from MARCOS PERFORMANCE into the turn, maintained a short lead through the bend, battled down the lane and lost the bob on the line. COURT OF APPEAL trailed two wide into the turn, drifted out and took up behind IN THE MIX early on the bend, traveled three wide to the stretch and bested the rest. IN THE MIX made contact with inner rival at the start, followed in range from the three path to the stretch and weakened. DESERT KAT stalked the speed from inside.
