Chart notes

VSOP was clear early in the two path and was kept to task. OPTIMAL COURAGE broke sharply, pressed the pace in the four path, bid late but couldn't get to the winner. HEDGE was unrushed early outside, rallied in the five path near the three-eighths pole and just missed the place. DO YA WANNA DANCE stalked the pace inside, bid near the quarter pole but faltered. BELLA'S PRAYER was jostled at the start, raced inside, bid in early stretch but couldn't close late. MIGHT AS WELL stalked the pace in the four path with no late bid. ROCKET HOSS raced evenly. TAY pressed the early pace between rivals before giving way near the eighth pole.
