Chart notes

CLASSIC CAUSEWAY broke sharply, dictated the pace on a narrow margin along the inside to the backstretch, was urged to repel a rival's bid racing into the far turn, tipped off the inside racing into upper stretch gaining a narrow advantage, then went clear under right handed pressure and finished in hand approaching the wire. SHIPSATIONAL was rated between foes racing behind the second flight racing to the backstretch, was prompted to advance four wide between foes into the far turn, continued in that path into upper stretch and finished with interest to prevail for the place honors. VOLCANIC tracked the leaders three deep behind the second flight in the opening half, was prompted to advance in that path through the far turn to upper stretch but lacked the needed final kick while prevailing for a share. STRIKE HARD settled outside foes racing in the last flight to the backstretch, shifted out five wide nearing the far turn while being prompted to advance, then continued in that path to upper stretch in an effort to gain some position late. GOLDEN GLIDER was rated off the second flight just off the inside racing to the backstretch, tipped out three deep racing through the far turn and continued evenly between foes to late stages. GOD OF LOVE settled between foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch, swung outside rivals racing through the far turn, raced six wide into the stretch but continued with an effort to improve position. LITTLE VIC, shifted inwards while being urged to terms with the eventual winner prompting the pace into the first turn, pulled a bit against rating racing into the backstretch, moved to press the issue nearing the far turn but came up empty racing into upper stretch. KITTEN MISCHIEF, reserved outside foes racing to the backstretch, never gained contention. MR RUM RUNNER tracked off the first flight along the inside in the opening half, saved ground through the far turn to gain some position racing into upper stretch but came up empty in the drive. MAKE IT BIG tracked off the first flight three wide racing to the backstretch, was prompted to close the gap on those foes in that path into the far turn but flattened out racing into upper stretch. UNPREDICTABLE BAY settled inside foes in the last flight early and proved no threat. TRADEMARK tracked just off the first flight between foes racing to the far turn and gave way abruptly nearing upper stretch.
