Chart notes

LIL HENRY drifted four wide vying outside a rival entering the first turn, corrected the opened up leaving the five eighths, set the pace towards the inside, drifted out when engaged soon into the lane, corrected and clung to the advantage under a drive past mid stretch, was headed by an outer BERNDT MARSHMALLOW leaving the sixteenth pole, found more to battle back, reclaimed a slim lead in the final yards and narrowly prevailed. BERNDT MARSHMALLOW , four wide outside rivals, gained under a ride into the lane, shifted out six wide leaving the three sixteenths, took over outside LIL HENRY with about a sixteenth remaining then was outkicked nearing the wire. GARY P , bumped at the break, steadied off heels into the first turn, regrouped and settled off the pace, advanced three wide into the stretch, made progress between runners inside the final furlong and closed steadily. AYDEN'S EDGE , three wide between runners, shifted in for the drive and kept on with effort to bridge the gap. GUITAR MAN saved ground early then angled outside a retreating rival leaving the five eighths, edged up between runners with a half mile to go, dropped back inside, altered out for room departing the furlong grounds and churned on. WHATDAT , well placed stalking a contested early pace, remained relaxed tracking the winner into the far turn, responded when cued past the three eighths and closed in, ranged up with a bold bid into the stretch, was floated out a bit, failed to kick on leaving mid stretch and weakened. COUNT THE STARS , reluctant to load, broke a bit slow and failed to menace. CARIBBEAN SON ducked in at the break and bumped a rival, straightened rushed up to the inside of the winner to contest the early pace, shied inward to be close to the inner rail leaving the five eighths then retreated.
