Chart notes

AMUSING WAY was quickest leaving the chute, crossed over into the four path, saved ground while showing the way, and held firm late stretch. EXAMINER tracked inside, gave chase in the final turn, was gaining on AMUSING WAY late but was unable to reach his rival. PERDITION steadied in traffic early in the backstretch, lodged a bid into the stretch, and finished third best. GIVE EM HECK BECK chased four to five wide early, and faded. PRESS GANG vied inside leaving the chute, was unable to threaten into the lane, and gave way.
