Chart notes

SINCLAIRITY tracked outside in the second flight at the half, pounced just outside mid-point on the turn, quickly going by for the lead, opened up turning for home and cruised in for a dominant victory. UNHEARD was content to watch the loose leader set the fast pace down the backstretch, chased the winner in vain from the five sixteenths pole to the finish and gamely stayed on to easily best the rest at the wire. KID GIZMO travelled outside horses three deep along the backside, began to lengthen stride three wide outside rivals midway on the turn, angled out with run in the six oath for the drive and finished up with intent to be a solid third crossing the line. ZIBIBBO stalked four wide outside runners down the backside, began to reach for more ground smartly bursting between horses at the three eighths marker, was in the mix for a share in the four path at the top of the lane and finished up evenly for a minor role in the end. BLAMELESS GHOST stalked on the rail near the rear in the early going, was roused with three eighths remaining, make little impact around the turn and ran on willingly inside on the rail to the finish line. YOUSANGTOME was in the third flight with rivals on either side down the backstretch, was asked to keep up with the leading three at the three furlong marker, could not accelerate on the turn and faded between horses in the three path in upper stretch. NOYZEE GIRL had a sluggish start to begin, bobbled leaving the chute as well to trail by many down the backside, could not get interested at the back around the bend and showed good late energy, figuring things out down the lane to pass some tired runners to the wire. RED MOOD hopped on the break, having only another poor starter beaten down the back straight, was roused three wide outside foes but could not get involved on the turn and was not a factor in the four path through the stretch. FULCRA stalked on the rail in the third flight at the half, was urged for more but was going in the wrong direction around the turn, had little to give in the lane and galloped across the finish line. TENTOMIDNIGHT was very eager early on setting a torrid pace spreading out the field down the backside, was collared outside by the winner midturn, offered no response and emptied out between runner at the furlong pole.
