Chart notes

PAPERBACK HERO was in range, moved up from the inside on the turn and with a bid in mid stretch fought gamely for the win. MIA AND ME was up close and forced the pace on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch was outgunned for the win. WHERE IS ESSA set a pressured pace and had a slim lead on the turn but from the three path at the top of the stretch gave way. KIDDIE HOLIDAY stalked the early leader and dueled from between foes on the turn but from the six path at the top of the stretch needed more. SEA TO AIR was in touch and roused on the turn but from the eight path at the top of the stretch had no late kick. A CLAIM OF FOUL BY THE RIDER ON KIDDIE HOLIDAY AGAINST MIA AND ME FOR ALLEGED INTERFERENCE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH WAS NOT ALLOWED.
