Chart notes

B GRAYSON moved up outside NAFTIS and forced the early issue from between foes, vied while in two path on the early, dropped back bit later on the bend then re-rallied inside, grabbed lead a sixteenth out and edged away while drifting out bit. PIPER'S CAUSEWAY quickly established control, set early pace from the three path, dueled outside pair of rivals on the turn, gained slim advantage in upper stretch but could not go with winner later in the drive while edging away from rival for the place. GYPSY TEARS was widest of all early, stalked while three then four wide into and around the turn, loomed passing quarter marker but failed to sustain effort. MICI'S EXPRESS tracked pace from the two path, continued prominently three wide on the turn, followed PIPER'S CAUSEWAY path into the stretch, kept on willingly while coming in some later in the lane. NAFTIS was sent up along the rail to contest the pace, drop back some on the turn, angled three wide into the stretch and weakened.
