Chart notes

SASSI D was allowed to settle early then split horses in the turn before angling out to make a quick seven wide move into the stretch, getting up in time. IMMA DEAL rated in the second flight early and saved ground then slipped through along the rail at the top of the stretch and rallied late for place. PRODIGY PARADISE broke sharply and set the pace, leading the field to the 1/4 pole then was headed for the lead but still ran on late. THE WICKED CAT chased the pace before being asked between horses into the stretch but just raced evenly late. SOUNDS LIKE POWER settled early while five wide and raced wide throughout, showing some run late. AVERY'S GEM chased while three wide and contended to the 1/4 pole but gave way in the stretch. ORLEANS TOURIST raced four wide early and was getting out on the turn then made no rally late.
