Chart notes

AWESOME RUTA raced up close along the inside just behind ORE MINE on the lead, alternated leads with that one to the stretch while pulling well clear of the rest, took a clear advantage into the stretch and opened up on the field under steady handling to win clear in the end. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT veered out at the start, settled four-wide in the back half of the field early, started a sustained bid from the seven-sixteenths marker, circled the field to gain contention by the top of the stretch, closed the gap on the leader late but ran out of time. MINTASTIC settled well off the pace early, then kept to task late to gain the third spot. ORE MINE took a slight hop at the break, but still made the lead, dueled outside of that rival to the stretch while taking turns on the front end, then weakened in upper stretch. MAGIC GRANT was outrun early and dropped far behind, ran on some late and managed to split the field. DEVIL'S MISCHIEF was close up three-deep in the run down the backstretch, then chased the leading pair as they forged ahead of the rest of the field, but flattened out in mid-stretch and outfinished through the late stages. WISH MAN raced four-wide near the back, and lacked a finish. FORTHELONGHAUL raced four-wide in the tracking group down the backstretch, then steadily retreated through the turn and had nothing to offer in the late stages. BRILLIANT SPIN was mid-pack early racing along the rail, then weakened in the stretch.
