Chart notes

HYMN stalked three to two wide and between horses, brushed with an outer rival after moving to the four path in upper stretch then rallied to reel in the leader at the sixteenth pole. I GOT GAME prompted three deep, vied around the turn, led entering the lane, drove clear in upper stretch but got caught by an outer bidder at the sixteenth pole then saved place. DIVE BOMBER broke outwardly, tracked four wide, brushed with an inner rival while pursuing in the five path in upper stretch then ran on to miss place at the wire. KEEP IT EASY was bumped between horses at the start, raced off of the pace in the three to four path into the turn, swung out to the seven path entering the lane then ran on willingly. KEEWAYDIN rushed between foes reaching the five furlong pole to vie two wide and between horses, sparred turning for home, but yielded in upper stretch then gave way. KALAHARI DREAMS raced close up along the inside, chased in the two to three path in upper stretch then lacked a bid. TWO EAGLES RIVER laid off of the pace in the two path, pursued in the five path and between horses in midstretch then failed to menace. GOODASIWONSWAS was bumped between horses and squeezed back at the start, trailed in the three path, swung out to the seven to eight path in upper stretch and failed to factor. TRACK PHANTOM vied for the lead with an outer pair into and around the turn, faded in upper stretch and weakened. CAN'T HUSH THIS bumped an outer foe at the start, pursued from the two path, chased in the five to six path and between rivals in upper stretch then tired. ACCRETIVE bumped with an inner foe leaving the gate, pursued from midpack in the three to five path into the lane then weakened.
