Chart notes

BAT FLIP came away in good order and went straight to the front, showed the way with a clear advantage in the two path, responded well when set down into upper stretch, came under a right-handed crop outside the furlong marker and held under steady urging. KALIK was taken in hand early, went three wide on the first turn, settled on the outside, was asked while three then four wide on the far turn, came five wide into the stretch and finished willingly for the place. FIGHTERTOWN saved ground on the first turn, was rated just off the pace, drafted inside to the two path around the far turn, shifted three wide while asked at the quarter-pole, pursued the winner in the drive, swapped back to his inside lead inside the furlong marker and lacked the needed kick while able to get the show. AMERICAN HUSTLE moved in early, saved ground on the first turn, was reserved under solid restraint, moved closer with a half-mile to run, raced inside on the far turn, was roused in the two path at the quarter-pole, moved out under a drive nearing the furlong marker and lacked the needed response. SCAT TU TAP was hustled from the gate, went around the first turn in the four path, stalked the pace on the outside, chased three wide on the far turn, was driven four wide into the stretch, moved out near the furlong marker and weakened. FARADAY was off slow and spotted the front a few lengths, went around the first turn in the two path, moved closer with a half-mile to run, raced inside to the two path on the final turn, dropped in from behind horses in upper stretch and failed to threaten. PLEASE BABY moved in while taken in hand leaving the chute, was reserved on the inside, saved ground through the far turn and failed to respond. WISECRAKEN was coaxed early then taken in hand, dropped from the five path to the three path early on the first turn, dropped back entering the backstretch, settled off the pace, was urged three wide on the far turn and came up empty. BROTHER SHOWTYME angled in early, came back out to be four wide around the first turn, moved closer with a half-mile to run, went four then five wide on the far turn and was no factor. IN SPADES stood in the gate and was off around seven to eighth lengths behind the front, saved ground on the first turn, lagged at the rear, went three wide on the far turn, swung seven wide into the stretch and also was no factor.
