Chart notes

COTTON was content to track the early speed at the half, assumed command outside as they entered the stretch and was kept to the task late to comfortably hold safe at the wire. LAST AMERICAN EXIT settled four wide midfield at the half, rallied three wide around horses to loom the threat at the top of the lane, game to the wire but chased in vain in deep stretch and had to settle for a solid second. LENNY K rated inside near the back of the pack in the first quarter, advanced in tight surroundings on the fence through the turn, waited behind the fading leader two furlongs out, shifted out off the weakening frontrunner in mid stretch and finished up well in the late stages. EMICRACK (CHI) led the field uncontested in the early stages, continued to free wheel up front on the turn, was collared outside by the winner two furlongs from home and faded on the fence in the drive. ROMANTIC GAMBLE tracked three wide in third down the backstretch, was shuffled to trail the field around the turn and could not find more to contend with others running to the wire. FORESTER'S TURN was off slow to begin, offered a mild run pressing between foes with three eighths to go, angled out to the five path for the drive but needed more to be a threat in the end.
