Chart notes

CLASSICAL KNIGHT set the early pace on the inside under much pressure, kicked clear in the stretch for a very convincing win. ROMEO SPIKES stalked the pace three wide, no match for the winner, clearly second best. CLOSING AGENT pressed the pace between rivals, backed off in the turn, angled out four wide in the stretch but made no progress. CUSTOM RIDE had a slow start to be the early trailer, gained position along the inside of the turn, picked off one more rival in the stretch. WARRIOR ROUXGAROUX opted for the middle of the pack between foes, backed off in the turn, failed to menace. THAT'S APRIORITY raced along the inside of the middle of the pack, angled out five wide in the stretch and weakened. LOUISIANA STAR was rated in the middle of the pack three wide, backed off in the turn to trail at the five sixteenths.
