Chart notes

SING A LITTLE SONG tracked from the two path, shifted to take aim outside of the embattled leading pair entering upper stretch, rallied to bid at the furlong grounds then edged past. C'EST CHEESE prompted two wide, vied around the turn, wrestled an advantage as an outer bidder threatened in midstretch, battled with that one thereafter but was grudgingly bested. SPECIAL SAUCE led narrowly from an outer prompter early on, vied with that one around the turn, dueled before getting headed by an outer pair in midstretch then yielded yet held show late. DANZIG'S DORA stalked from the four path, lacked a bid and needed more to catch a tiring rival for show. MASCARA brushed with an outer foe at teh start, raced off of the pace in the three to five path and failed to menace. LETMENOWHENURREADY brushed with an inner foe and dropped back at the start, then showed little.
