Chart notes

GWEN TO WIN prompted the pace outside horses down the backstretch, circled the turn four wide, challenged for the lead in upper stretch, dueled and determinedly prevailed. DINA'S TOUCH chased between horses leaving the backstretch, moved to the inner rail leaving the far turn, bid for the lead in mid stretch and finished gamely. J CANDY showed speed, was kept in the three path on the turn, was hooked on both sides in upper stretch, dueled and weakened. RIDGIE , slow to begin, swung wide approaching the eighth pole and rallied. HALF A DECK , four deep on the turn, was in range at the head of the lane and faltered. HIGH HEEL NATIVE , wide leaving the turn, was not a factor. JAVA TALES raced along the inner rail on the turn and gave way. SEEKINGBYTHESTORM , bumped and in tight quarters leaving the starting gate trailed.
