Chart notes

GETTING CLOSER set the pace as an outer rival prompted around the turn, shook free entering the lane then held sway under a drive. SHOT AT PERFECTION bushed the inner stall door upon leaving the gate, laid well back along the inside, rallied to forge between rivals entering the final sixteenth and edged place lat. IN FOR A SPIN settled off of the pace before tucking tot he two path into the turn, moved further in while building momentum in upper stretch, rallied to claim place leaving the furlong grounds but got bested by an outer bidder for that position late. NIGHTMARE FUEL prompted outside of the eventual winner and from the three path, but yielded entering the lane and gave way. POPPY WOPPY stalked the top pair from the three to four path into the lane, chased leaning out to the five path in upper stretch and yielded. TWIRLAWAY trailed in the three path and got outrun.
