Chart notes

AMERICAN OF COURSE set a pressured pace, had a slim lead on the turn and was kept to task through the stretch. RIFLING was settled off the pace, gained ground on the turn and from the five path at the top of the stretch finished well. CREATIVPERFORMANCE was unhurried early, had a mild gain on the turn and from the three path at the top of the stretch was up for show. NICOLE'S SONG was well back, trailed the field on the turn and passed tired foes in deep stretch. EASY ACCESS forced the early and dueled on the turn but from the three path at the top of the stretch faded. MO TWILIGHT tracked the early leaders and had a good position on the turn but from the four path at the top of the stretch was empty.
