Chart notes

CASTAGNA set an early pace from the inside with multiple contenders, came out on the turn to be two wide then was passed briefly in the upper and re-bid deep in the stretch and dueled with BLUE FASHION and was just up at the wire. BLUE FASHION was bumped at the break and settled towards the back of the pack in the three path, shifted out on the turn to be five wide and took command entering the upper while shifting back into the three path then pulled ahead briefly but couldn't hold on and was nailed at the wire. THREE RUN BOLT tracked from the inside for most the race and came three wide into the upper, brushed with an opponent deep into the stretch while dueling and was just up for the show award. SWEET NOLA broke outwards at the start and bumped with a rival and stalked the pace from the three path, shifted out slightly on the turn and came into the upper six wide, then dueled with a rival and was brushed nearing the furlong marker but just missed the show award. TOO HOT TO STOP tracked the pace two to three wide, then came four wide into the upper and angled out further but had no kick. ANGELAS PARTY GIRL was bumped at the start and settled back off the pace, moved out and raced on widest through the backstretch and turn but was no factor. CAN DO was bumped at the start and pressed the pace from the two path, came three wide on the turn while angling out and was six wide in the upper but came up empty.
