Chart notes

HOME RUN GUY away well and dueled for the lead one out from the rail entering the first turn, forced the issue two wide from the outside of FINDING WAYS in the run down the backstretch, took control entering the final turn, and held SMART LAD safely at bay late to prove best. SMART LAD broke sharply and tracked the leaders into the backstretch while racing just off the rail, tipped three wide to commence his bid entering the final turn, was unable to threaten the winner late, but finished gamely to prove clearly second best. HE'S RELENTLESS settled off the early pace while racing one out from the rail entering the backstretch, quickly raced into a stalking trip in the run down the backside, rallied four wide through the final turn, and finished two out from the rail in the drive to be along for a share. MACHINE settled off the early pace while saving ground at the rail entering the backstretch, rallied from the back of the pack while saving ground at the rail entering the final turn, and finished from along the rail in the drive while unable to make a serious late impact. FINDING WAYS away alertly and vied for the lead from along the rail entering he first turn, set a pressured pace from the inside of HOME RUN GUY in the run down the backstretch, was unable to match strides with his pace rival entering rhe final turn, and weakened over the final furlong.
