Chart notes

RADIANT REBEL was away well but second last past the half-mile pole, advanced four wide through the turn, then bid five-wide into the stretch, rallied down the middle of the track and was just up in the last jump. TAKEITTOTHEHOUSE hustled up two deep into the early pace mix, bid for the lead near the quarter pole, two deep, took a short lead with a furlong to go but came up on the short end of a very tight photo finish. LA PALABRA pressed four wide into the turn, bid three-wide at the quarter pole, ran on but was outfinished. DEAL WITH IT rushed to the front after a tardy start, dueled with TAKEITTOTHEHOUSE through the turn, weakened at the quarter pole but kept trying to the finish. GOLDEN BARCENTS broke best and led through the initial stages before being overtaken, chased the top pair under a drive through the turn, bid three wide at the top of the stretch, then weakened near the furlong grounds. CLASSY MIMI restless in the gate, was off a step slow, outrun early, under a ride to keep up through the turn but dropped to last and was unable to muster up anything in the stretch. TENSAS CLEAR broke well, was briefly up with the back, then steadily retreated and never threatened.
