Chart notes

LUCKY PHOENIX vied for the lead from between horses early then moved up to co-lead from the three path before edging away in upper stretch but had to battled down the stretch to win the nod. VITAEMI was away alertly to co-lead from the four path to midway through the turn then fell back slightly, dug back in to fight gamely to the wire but was outnodded. OPULENT WAYS rushed up to take the early lead then settled off the pace to track the leaders through the turn before making a late charge from the five path and missed. DANZA MAGIC trailed the field while racing in the five path to the quarter pole and made a belated bid to pass a tired one but was gaining on the show. ASHLEE'S RING stumbled awkwardly at the start but raced off the pace while saving ground but was not a factor.
