Chart notes

AXTON prompted EPIC BATTLE racing two-wide, took the lead from that one entering the stretcch and gradually drew clear. EPIC BATTLE saved ground setting the pace and held on well when headed for second. BEST CHOICE BABY was prominently placed racing four-wide and finished well in a steady effort. MAGICAL MARK was close-up early racing five-wide but lacked a rally. TOUCH OF GLAM (ARG) was forwardly placed racing three-wide, angled in nearing the quarter pole and weakened.
