Chart notes

WE NEED A FIVE away in good order, allowed the two leaders to go in the first turn, pursued that pair up the backstretch, advanced on the lone leader late in the final turn, took over entering the stretch, salted the runner up away while inside that one inside the furlong marker and pulled away under steady pressure. OAK HILL LG raced back off the early pace, moved closer the middle half mile off the inside, advanced with the winner toward the front late in the final turn three wide and outside that one, lodged a brief bid in upper stretch then could not keep up. SNEAKY ALLIE KAT last to leave, trailed for a half, began to advance off the inside far turn, three wide into the lane, continued a mild rally to be clear for the show, not a threat to the top two. PALANTE broke prominently, with the pace into the first turn, scooted away with the other speed from the main flight through the first turn, put the other pacesetter away in the second turn to be briefly clear, faltered in turn when headed by the top two entering the stretch inside that pair. ST BASIL settled off the pace and the inside, went evenly throughout in lacking a closing response. BIG BOSS MAN broke with leaders, dueled through the first turn closest to the inside, continued be a pace factor up the backstretch then was first to blink midway on the final turn. HOPE FOR CHANGE four wide through the first turn when lacking speed, continued outside, tired after six furlongs.
