Chart notes

DANCING DENAE broke awkwardly, regrouped and angled in, rushed up to bid inside a trio of rivals leaving the half mile marker, poked a head in front while sparring mid turn, spurted clear and drifted out to the three path soon into the lane, corrected past the three sixteenths, opened up under a drive while on his left lead and was kept alert to the wire. PAYNTED LION , away well, edged up and bid two wide between foes leaving the half, dueled on near even terms leaving the three eighths, shifted out to about the four path with pursuit past mid stretch then continued on with effort to maintain the place. HEAT CHECK broke inward, straightened and rushed up to take command while well off the inside, dug in when surrounded into the turn, battled on to the five sixteenths, chased four to five wide in upper stretch but came up empty. MISTER ROSCOE , with the pace four deep into the turn, pressed past the five sixteenths, gave hard chase while well wide in upper stretch but failed to respond.
