Chart notes

BLUE HOUR set a well rated pace in the early going, opened a clear advantage in the turn and drew off without being threatened in the lane. CONSTITUTIONALIST broke wide, raced up to be on the early pace, chased the winner through the turn, was no match for that one but finished well as an easy second best. BELLAVALENCIA reserved off the pace down the backside, saved ground on the turn and rallied mildly in the lane to gain the show. MISS LINDYSUE chased the two pacesetters through the turn and kept on down the lane. SOLDAT TEMPTATION unhurried early, rallied eight wide at the top of the stretch and showed some late interest. IMA SURE BET raced near the rear of the field to the quarter pole, split rivals from four wide in upper stretch and improved position down the lane. BEAUTY IN MOTION well placed tracking the pace for a half and flattened out turning for home. ITALIAN TWIN failed to menace. ICEY ANGEL had no impact. ARTUME was not a threat. NOGRATZ was not a factor.
