Chart notes

ASCENDANCE was allowed to settle early, raced five wide through the turn, was floated out, dueled with SEEKING UNITY to the wire and prevailed for the win. SEEKING UNITY pressed the early pace, raced three wide through the second turn, drifted out through the turn, met the bid of the winner, dueled to late stretch and was second best. AMEDEUS MUSIC was off slow, was rushed from the inside, angled out to go four wide through the second turn, was floated out in early stretch and was empty late. GOOD AS HE GETS was unhurried early, raced three wide though the second turn and offered no late rally. LAST ROMANCE was void of any early speed, raced along the inside and never fired. LEONIDS set a pressured early pace, raced off the rail through the turns and weakened.
