Chart notes

TORTUGA COAST had a fixed shoe in the paddock then found a good position early and stalked the pace, waited through the turn then was asked at the quarter pole and responded well with a strong move to open up in the stretch. HIT SONG rated in the second flight early then made a steady advance while three wide on the turn and sustained the move into the stretch, holding on for place. NO MAP NEEDED raced four wide on the first turn and had a wide trip along the backstretch then made a five wide bid in the final turn and ran on late. ABOVE THE WORLD was reluctant to load into the gate then raced behind horses early while under a tight hold onto the backstretch before angling four wide in the turn and making a mild rally in the lane between horses. ANGELIC KATIE was allowed to settle early then angled six wide into the lane and made a mild bid but faltered. AWREE was void of speed while saving ground but did show some run late along the inside. REDRIVER STORM was fractious in the gate but got away alertly and set the pace, then led the field into the stretch but ducked in at the 3/16 pole and gave way. OUTTASIGHT SEESTER was a bit rank early behind horses and chased to the turn along the inside but came up empty in the stretch. QUIET MELODY settled early between horses then dropped back into the second turn and wasn't asked late.
