Chart notes

TAKE CHARGE J J was sent to the front to set the pace and drew off in the drive under steady urging. HIGHLAND CREEK stalked the pace, rallied on the turn to loom a threat, was no match late and finished second best. HEGS was never far back, raced outside, advanced to the second turn and offered a mild bid to earn show. TRAITOUR was slow early and improved position in a steady effort. I'M YOUR MAN saved ground in a steady effort and passed tiring rivals. MR. FAVERSHAM saved ground, lost his path entering the second turn, was steadied, lacked a bid and was outrun. COFFEE COUNTY was not a factor. HIDDEN PROFIT was outrun.
