Chart notes

KHOZANDO, in touch with the leaders three deep racing to the first turn, was rated just off the leaders on the backstretch, was prompted to challenge three deep nearing upper stretch, wrested the advantage and went clear through the lane under firm encouragement. SKILLFUL, bumped, then squeezed between foes in the opening stages, was reserved between rivals in the last flight racing to the backstretch, shifted out four wide nearing the far turn while being prompted to advance, rallied to contention in that path leaving the far turn but couldn't gain terms with the winner while clearly second best. MR. EINSTEIN was prompted to a forward placing along the rail racing to the first turn, tracked just off the pacesetter inside the eventual winner on the backstretch, tipped off the inside awaiting an opening between leaving the quarter mile marker to upper stretch but advanced between foes to prevail for a share. THRU THE VINE was urged prompting the pace between foes, then outside a rival racing through the backstretch, dueled between foes on the far turn and gave way into upper stretch. FEISTY KITTEN, reserved along the inside racing to the backstretch, saved ground on the far turn, then shifted out four wide racing through the stretch to gain some position while making no impact. ACTION WARRIOR made brief pursuit of the leaders four wide into the first turn and steadily faded after a half. STARSHIP OREO, came through close quarters while being urged to the lead along the inside racing into the first turn, dueled for command inside foes through the far turn and gave way into the lane. SPANISH SOUL bumped, then shuffled out of tight quarters in the opening stages, pulled his way outside foes while a bit rank to race five wide into the first turn carrying out ALPERES and quickly emptied out. ALPERES, carried wide racing into the first turn, never gained contention. STRIKING IT LUCKY broke outwards bumping SKILLFUL forcing that rival into SPANISH SOUL, was held up avoiding tight quarters nearing the first turn, dropped out racing into the backstretch, then was vanned off the course following the race.
