Chart notes

EAKLY stalked the leading pair from the three to two path approaching the turn, shifted out to the four path to take aim outside of them in upper stretch, ranged up to bid at the furlong grounds, led into the final sixteenth then held from an outer bidding pair late. LET MY PEOPLE GO was subtly put to tight quarters between horses nearing the half mile pole, tracked from the two path around the bend, moved out to the five path in upper stretch, rallied in the final furlong to offer late bid between horses but missed at the wire. MISCHIEVOUS ROGUE broke a step slow, laid off of the pace in the three path, swung out to the seven path in upper stretch, rallied to bid outside of rivals in the closing stages but missed. OUR STARRY NIGHT led narrowly while vying with an outer rival into and around the turn, dueled after moving out to the two path in upper stretch but got outkicked by an outer challenger in the final furlong, yielded place to an outer pair in the final sixteenth yet held fourth. MURDOCK chased along the inside then stayed on mildly. MOON SNIPER prompted two wide, vied around the turn, dueled in the three path in upper stretch but got outkicked by an outer bidder at the furlong grounds an gave way. BAL A KAZOO broke a beat slow, raced off of the pace in the two to four path into the lane and failed to factor.
