Chart notes

CANTUCCI broke inwards to begin, pressed inside down the back straight, took command bursting through on the rail with five sixteenths to go, opened up straightening out for the drive, raced greenly down the lane ducking in when urged at the sixteenth pole and comfortably drew away for the win at the wire. GUARDTHEROCK settled inside keeping tabs on the engaging threesome tracking throughout the turn, began to take closer order at the quarter pole, surged on the fence in upper stretch, chased the winner but to no avail to the wire and stubbornly held besting the rest in the end. CONTRIVANCE prompted three deep down the backside, forced the pace three wide outside through the turn, was in the hunt between horses in lane four at the top of the stretch, drifted out driving to the wire at the eighth pole and was gaining late just missing second money in the end. BE ON NOTICE was in a good spot outside runners tracking the contesting trio up front down the backstretch and throughout the turn, was roused to go on shifting outside turning for home five wide for clear run, was steadied when losing its path at the furlong pole and could not regroup in time to threaten at the wire. ZODIAC BEACH broke with the field but had no early foot trailing down the backside, could see the field but was starting to gain on rivals on the turn and showed some late interest passing weary foes down the lane. OH PEANUTS stalked near the rear on the rail, made no progression running inside throughout the turn and could not get involved in the drive to the finish. SQUEEZETHESHARMAN was off a step slow to begin, then was hustled between horses to have a slim advantage at the half mile marker, was roused for more to keep up with the other contesting rivals up front on either side at the quarter pole, offered little response and stopped on the fence at the furlong marker.
