Chart notes

THAT'STHEFACTJACK was reserved early and raced in the three path on the turn, swung widest leaving the turn and closed full of run under left handed crop and hit the front nearing the sixteenth marker and drew out to prove much the best. MIDNIGHTLOVEAFFAIR stalked the pace and raced five wide on the turn, made a six wide bid leaving the turn but could not go with the winner in the final sixteenth while being second best. WILL OF A WOMANNE chased the pace from the outside and raced five wide on the turn, came seven wide into the lane and ran on late to gain the show award but needed more. COMBATANT'S SONG showed good speed early and then stalked the leader two wide by the half mile marker, made a two wide bid nearing the quarter pole and came three wide off the turn and gained a short lead to the furlong marker but weakened in the final sixteenth. ELENI had an awkward start, then was rushed up the inside to set the pace and then was headed by the quarter pole and faded in the drive. CHARDONNAY DERBY was rated early and raced two wide on the turn, came three wide off the turn but had no kick. DAT DARES RIGHT stalked the pace three wide and made a four wide bid leaving the turn but flattened out in the final furlong. ISHKABIBBLE was bumped between after the break, stalked the pace four wide and in between rivals and then weakened in the drive.
