Chart notes

CENTRAL DISPATCH took a bump from outside in the beginning, set the pace under pressure from MATANZAS CREEK to the outside, maintained a short lead along the rail through the turn, put away outer rival in upper stretch and held safely under urging. PALAGIO bothered leaving the gate and dropped back early, trailed three then four wide on the turn while making progress, put in a late run and rallied for the place honors. DEVILISH DESIRE broke inward while quick into stride, raced up close stalking the top pair from inside, ridden along through the turn, tipped three wide into the lane, altered back inside in upper stretch and finished willingly for the show. DAZZLEMESILVER stalked off the inside, went three wide into the turn, floated four wide into the stretch and flattened in the late stages. MATANZAS CREEK broke in and bumped rival at the start, prompted the pace up the backstretch, kept the pressure on through the turn, then weakened in the lane.
