Chart notes

METHODS off a bit slowly, went up to dispute the pace two wide into the turn, took command and drew clear nearing the top of the lane, drew off through the stretch and won in hand. GO WATER got squeezed a bit at the start and was allowed to settle early, saved ground into the turn, angled three to four wide to upper stretch, was no match for the winner in the lane but fought on late to earn the place. IN SPITE OF IT close up in the early stages, tracked four wide to the turn, chased three wide to upper stretch and ran in pursuit of METHODS into the final furlong, was no match for the winner in the drive then was outfinished for the place, while well clear for the show. GRAZEN GATOR tracked the early pace from the outside, chased four to five wide to upper stretch, needed more in the lane and passed tiring rivals late. NALA was prominent early, stalked the pace two to three wide to the turn, shifted in and chased to the quarter pole from the two path, was outkicked to mid-stretch then gave way in the late stages. LONE MOUNTAIN GIRL sent leaving the start, contested the early pace from the inside, dueled METHODS into the turn then was repelled by that rival nearing the quarter marker, chased the winner into the stretch then tired in the final furlong. HOOK EM UP chased the early pace four deep and from between foes, got shuffled back into the turn, coaxed two wide to the quarter pole, lacked a response to upper stretch and did not factor late.
