Chart notes

GOATS ON A TREE unhurried in the early going, began a four wide move far turn, lost some ground to the leader into the stretch as a result, challenged three deep with a furlong to run, late duel outside the runner up, dug in late to narrowly prevail. GOODBETTERBEST broke alertly, relinquished the advantage to the pacesetter before a quarter, tracked that one inside while a bit keen onto and up the backstretch, covered up while still saving ground into the straight, moved out, challenged in the two path and between horses midstretch, late duel closest to the inside, outkicked in the waning strides. SMILING ELLIE off the pace and the inside under restraint, continued to pull late backstretch, swung five wide when beginning a run late in the final turn, up for the show, too late for the top pair. NOTABLE EXCHANGE in a bit tight at the start, quickly gathered and took over off the inside the opening quarter, showed the way up the backstretch and through the final turn inside, larger lead into the lane, responded when the top two challenged a furlong out, relented late to be caught for the show. PUT A ROCK ON IT last away, trailed while saving ground, picked off a couple of rivals with some belated interest, no real threat. STILLTHINKINGOFYOU in the second flight outside, continued in a forward fashion the middle half mild, crept closer to the pacesetter in the final turn three wide, had little left for the stretch run. DYNAMIC ACTRESS forwardly placed while between horses, gave way in the drive.
