Chart notes

ALTO ROAD vied for the lead from the inside, then dueled with an outer rival on the turn, dug in gamely to shake clear and held on well to prevail under a strong hand drive. PERFECT PRANK chased the pace from the inside, was in a steady drive to rally on the turn then closed willingly in the stretch. AARON'S SPIRIT vied for the lead while three wide, then bid on the turn, angled in to the two path, then closed gamely for the show prize. STRAIGHT LUCK vied for the lead while two wide, was in a hard drive to duel shortly on the turn with an inner rival then gave way in the end. PINCH ME A PENNY chased the pace from the two path, then swung five wide on the turn to bid in the stretch but came up empty. B W P SPIRIT vied for the lead while four wide, continued to menace throughout the turn then flattened out in the stretch. FROM PIT TO PALACE hopped at the start, then settle along the rail to make a mild bid in the early stretch then stopped.
