Chart notes

LA PUMA prompted two wide, dueled while leaning to the three path nearing the lane, wrestled an advantage at the furlong grounds then inched free late. FRENCH FRICTION led narrowly as the eventual winner applied firm outer pressure, dueled with that one turning for home, got headed at the furlong grounds, was bested yet held place. JUST A MINUTE tracked from the inside, shifted out to the four path while taking aim on the embattled leading pair in upper stretch, ran on willingly but needed more to reach place. STORM CLOUD RISING trailed along the inside, swung out to the five path into upper stretch, moved up and shifted in. ALTA AVENUE pursued three wide and between horses, steadied in tight inside the half mile pole, tucked two wide in upper stretch and failed to menace. KINGSOLVER pursued two wide and between horses, chased along the inside into the lane and gave way. PULSTAR stalked from the four to three path into the turn, yielded when floated back to the four path entering the lane and weakened.
