Chart notes

WESTERN FEEL pressed the pace in opening stages then advanced to engage SWEET VIOLA for the lead, dueled gamely down the lane, dug in under firm handling and turned away stubborn runner up late. SWEET VIOLA led the way in opening stages then took on the challenge from WESTERN FEEL, continued to battle inside of rival into the lane, battled gamely but could not move on with the winner late. MAXIMUM TO EXCEL headed in pursuit of the top pair entering the turn, sustained a two wide bid down the lane and secured a share. STARLIT SOFI raced off the early pace, swung three wide into the lane and lacked a needed rally. AMERICAN SUE showed response in opening stages, failed to keep pace, weakened late on the backstretch, saved ground around the turn and offered no late run. R N B BABY was off a step slow at the start and raced in the back throughout.
