Chart notes

BELLA MENDY sprinted clear early, was challenged briefly on the turn, edged clear when asked turning for home and held sway late under right-handed pressure. ASK THE MONARCH broke sharply, chased the lone pacesetter while three wide, continued three wide in the stretch, stayed on willingly but could not reach the top one. SOUNDTRACK raced in striking position while four wide, was urged on the turn, kept on evenly in the stretch but made no impression on the top pair. RAVEN'S QUEST off a step slowly, was reserved in the early going and never menaced. KIKILOVE raced forwardly along the inside, got outpaced while drifting out on the turn and proved no factor in the stretch.
