Chart notes

LIBERTARIAN settled between foes in the last flight early, advanced four wide racing into the turn, continued in that path to midstretch while going a bit erratically but continued with solid momentum to prevail under firm handling. BIG LEAGUE BENNY brushed the gate while breaking slowly, settled outside foes racing to the turn, angled five wide racing into upper stretch and found his best stride late to close the gap. JUST ASK JOEL was urged inside rivals disputing the pace through the backstretch into the turn, edged forward to a clear advantage into upper stretch but was collared by the top pair late. UNBROKEN SONG, reserved along the inside in early stages, was held up avoiding tight quarters nearing the bend, switched outside foes on the turn, then found his best stride four wide between foes in the closing stages but was taken in hand in close quarters in the final strides to just miss for a share. TURN THE SWITCH broke awkwardly, when his head was turned at the start, was urged to a contending position three wide in second flight racing into the turn, continued between foes into the lane but had no late kick. PALACE PRINCE settled between foes in early stages and never gained contention. YESTERYEAR was urged forcing the pace between foes through the backstretch into the turn and gave way midstretch. SMART CALL, forwardly placed between foes in the opening stages, angled to the rail tracking off the first flight into the turn and steadily faded into upper stretch. WESTERN SMOKE tracked the leaders inside foes in second flight to the turn and faded early. MILTONTOWN, prominent four wide in the opening stages, continued in pursuit of the leaders three wide into the turn and gave way nearing the lane.
