Chart notes

CESIUM was sent forward from the gate but got caught four wide into the first turn, settled in a tracking position not far off the pace, launched the bid after passing the three-furlong pole, got even with LIFELIKE at the top of the stretch, then went clear under steady handling and intermittent urging. UNINSPIRED lacked early speed and was in chase mode from the start, was in a drive on the far turn, went three wide, gradually picking off rivals to pass all but the winner in the end. WITCHOLOGY took light bumps on both sides just after the start, raced in the middle of the pack, started a bid on the turn, and was gaining some in the late stages. LIFELIKE broke well and went to the front, maintained a length or two advantage to the stretch, then tired. IRON FORTUNE unhurried from the break, raced well back of the field and lacked a rally. PRINCE LIAM tracked up close to the pace to the three-furlong pole, then faced and lacked a finish. TACLOBAN was slow to begin and under coaxing out of the gate, saved ground to no avail and was never a factor. R T'S CAJUN veered out at the start but otherwise got away well, pressed the pace three-wide through the opening half-mile, was asked to go on leaving the three-furlong pole but did not respond and slowed to a canter in the stretch. D. R.'S MR. PAYDAY got bumped by CESIUM at the start, then rebounded into WITCHOLOGY, raced wide and was always outrun.
