Chart notes

PLAY IT SMART showed speed from the inside and set the pace, had the lead on the turn and from the three path at the top of the stretch prevailed. STRIKING RED stalked the early leader, a factor on the turn and from the four path at the top of the stretch was clearly second best. DON'T SMILE LILAH was off slow and raced evenly on the turn but had no late kick. WICKEN CENTS was well back, saved ground on the turn and was up for a share. TOURIST ATTRACTION was hustled early and roused on the turn but from the five path at the top of the stretch had no response. SPARKISHA was off the pace and had a mild gain on the turn but from the six path at the top of the stretch flattened out.
