Chart notes

BLUE WILDCAT content to track mid-pack down the backstretch, made a sweeping move around the turn to get into contention, was even with the leaders as the field turned for home, dueled with PRESSKIT the length of the stretch and was able to get a nose in front of that determined rival at the wire. PRESKITT broke in and bumped lightly with BLUE WILDCAT after the break then easily gained the early advantage but was content to cede the lead to ICONIC SKY, chased that one to the quarter pole, angled to the inside for the stretch run and ran on well only to lose a head bob at the wire. MISCHIEVOUS CURLIN unhurried down the backstretch, responded when asked to pick it up with three furlongs to run, swung four wide into the turn and closed willingly to gain third. SEEMS LOGICAL not asked for speed from the break, raced the first quarter mile under a hold, nearly clipped heels with TEN THE SMART WAY near the half mile marker then backed off, stayed to the inside and summoned a good late run up the rail in the stretch and was gaining on the leaders late but ran out of race track. OCTANE (BRZ) lagged near the rear of the field after the break, pulled on the rider passing the half mile pole, was still last through the turn, stayed inside for the stretch run and finish with a grinding late run to be part of the crowed photo finish. LADY'S SERMON lacked early speed despite being asked after the break, came under a hard ride from the seven-sixteenths pole, went four-wide through the turn and swung out into the five path for the stretch run, finished with some interest while still wide and was gaining at the finish. ICONIC SKY broke slowly then rushed up to seize the early lead, held an open lead to the quarter pole then wilted when challenged at the top of the stretch. TEN THE SMART WAY came away well from the outside, was content to track the pace from mid-pack while about four wide, moved forward through the turn in tandem with BLUE WILDCAT inside, then began to struggle passing the three-sixteenths pole and was no factor from that point.
