Chart notes

DREAM QUEST sprinted to the front, led outside THIRSTY CAITLIN then cleared leaving the backstretch, crossed over to the rail, met bids from THIRSTY CAITLIN and POTICA turning for home, maintained short advantage into deep stretch and stubbornly held. THIRSTY CAITLIN bumped leaving the gate, raced up close on the inside, tipped two wide at the quarter pole, bid between rivals coming into the stretch, battled into the final sixteenth, dug in late and just missed. POTICA chased between rivals or in the two path, bid three deep exiting the turn but could not summon the needed late kick. PAY ONE MORE DREAM chased three deep into the turn, asked right handed around the bend, drifted to the inside in upper stretch, switched to the left hand and could not rally. LIHUE PRINCESS hustled along the inside but had to steady early, angled to the three path on the turn, moved out further at the top of the lane and failed to rally. SHE'S MY STAR was away alertly then bumped with outer rival and dropped back to last, trailed two wide then along the rail and passed a tired rival in the lane. SOO BRONX chased from inside into and around the bend and tired in the lane.
