Chart notes

TAPALO vied for the lead between rivals then dueled inside EXPLOSIVELY into the turn, shook free midway around the bend, opened up a comfortable into the stretch, kept to task into the final sixteenth and coasted in near the wire. BIG GAIN chased along the inside then between rivals into the turn, moved back to the rail around the bend, finished willingly through the lane but could not threaten the winner. CITADINO bothered from outside at the start and trailed early, advanced on the inside through the turn, stayed on the fence in the lane and summoned a mild rally to earn the show honors. BOWTIE BOYS bumped inner rival at the start, raced in range three deep into the turn, ran three to four wide around the bend and lacked a bid in the stretch. SHARPAZANO broke well and showed early speed between rivals then chased up the backstretch, dropped back a bit when climbing some near the half-mile pole, took the turn two wide and ran into traffic at the quarter pole, then failed to threaten in the lane. GAVEA broke in and bumped rival, went up to press inside rivals, lost touch leaving the backstretch, dropped back on the inside then two wide into the lane and tired. DEAL EM got bumped from outside at the start, climbed early and had to chase from off the pace, took the turn four wide and failed to menace. MISCHIEF MOMENTS raced near the back well off the rail, eased five wide on the turn, coasted through the lane and eventually crossed the wire before walking off. EXPLOSIVELY bumped with outer rival leaving the gate, went up to vie three deep early then dueled from outside into the turn, failed to keep up with inner rival around the bend, eased in the lane and walked off.
