Chart notes

TALKIN IN CURSIVE bumped with an inner foe at the start, stalked five to three wide into the turn, bid outside of the top pair at the five sixteenths pole, drew clear in upper stretch and held sway. BLAZING AFFAIR laid off of the pace in the four path, progressed five wide turning for home then ran on to prove second best. TAKE ME TO LONDYN was bumped by an outer rival at the start, brushed with an inner counterpart at the eleven sixteenths pole, pursued from midpack three wide and between horses tipped four wide while inching forward among foes turning for home, issued a bid for place in upper stretch but got outkicked. CREATIVE QUALITY brushed with an outer foe at the start, trailed in the three path, shifted out to the six path in upper stretch then moved up. JET PACK brushed with an inner rival at the start, tracked along the inside, chased in the three path and between horses into the lane but lacked a bid. ARGAN brushed with an inner foe leaving the gate, vied four to two wide into the turn, then between horses at the five sixteenths pole before giving way in upper stretch. Q'S YOUR MAMA vied for the lead with an outer foe into the turn, then with an outer pair at the five sixteenths pole and weakened in upper stretch. JOIA RARA brushed with an outer rival at the eleven sixteenths pole while pursuing two wide and between horses, but dropped back into the turn and was done early.
