Chart notes

SPIRIT ANIMAL was content to sit patiently tracking the frontrunner into the turn, was asked to go keeping forward position between rivals at the three furlong marker, pounced to the lead straightening out for the stretch run and won impressively unchallenged in deep stretch. CAUSIN' MAYHEM stalked three deep near the back in the early going, crept closer between runners at the half, was waiting looking for a seam with three furlongs to go, found a path in lane four turning for home and closed belatedly for second besting the rest comfortably at the finish. BATTLE STRIKE hopped breaking out at the start to trail down the back straight, was patiently allowed to find his feet under him seeing the field running throughout the turn, angled out widest for clear run in the six path at the top of the lane and lengthened stride late to close in and capture third money in the end. BEAU GUEST was away a bit slow to begin, recovered to lead the field down the backside at the five eighth marker, set the fractions on the turn, was headed outside by the winner three furlongs from the wire and faded on the fence in mid-stretch holding for a small piece of the prize in the end. U S ARMY CORPS stalked in midpack on the rail in the beginning, advanced mildly saving ground on the the turn, had nothing to give at the top of the lane and could not reach contention to the wire. STAR REDEMPTION tracked outside three deep down the back straight, kept up to the leaders three wide running on the turn and yielded between runners in upper stretch.
