Chart notes

NATURAL HUNK settled off the pace, moved in leaving the backstretch, was asked near the seven-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the three then four path, turned into upper stretch in the six path, rallied outside to get the lead outside the sixteenth-pole and proved best under good handling. THORSNESS was hustled from the gate, tracked the leading duo from third, made a bid leaving the backstretch, vied in the four path on the turn, reched ven terms inside the furlong marker, battled under a drive into the final sixteenth and was outfinished while able to get the place. DAYTONA MOONSHINE dropped back quickly on the outside then was urged along at the rear, moved closer late on the backstretch, went around the turn in the five path, spun into upper stretch in the seven path and finished willingly to just get the show. RESIDE settled off the pace, moved closer near the nine-sixteenths pole, was asked in the two then three path on the turn, came out to the five path into upper stretch, pursued the leader in the stretch and just missed the show. WHITBY showed speed then contested the pace on the outside, vied in the two path while asked on the turn, battled under a drive into the final furlong and weakened. INTO INSPIRATION moved up to dispute the pace on the inside of an opponent, vied along the rail while asked on the turn, led under a drive into the final furlong then was headed, had the rider lose her crop outside the sixteenth-pole and tired.
