Chart notes

NANTUCKET was hustled to be close up to the early pace, disputed the pace four wide along the backstretch then dueled outside of BALTIC heading into the turn, shook free of that rival leaving the quarter marker and drew clear at mid-stretch, kept to task in the final sixteenth and held safely late over the oncoming runner-up. EXPLOSIVE LOVE settled off of the contested early pace, advanced outside of rivals along the turn, rallied three wide into upper stretch, finished well into the final sixteenth, could not reel in the winner in deep stretch and was a clear second best. BALTIC disputed the early pace from between foes, engaged with NANTUCKET heading into the turn and dueled that rival to the quarter marker, was repelled to upper stretch, yielded to the top pair in the late stages and was a clear third. SAMS AFTER PARTY contested the early pace from inside of rivals, saved ground into the turn and chased the leaders heading to the quarter marker, could not find more into upper stretch and gave way in the final furlong. KIT SCAT contested the early pace from between foes, got caught a bit in tight approaching the turn and was shuffled back at the three-eighths, lost position along the bend and tired in the stretch drive. MISTER WOODFORD broke alertly and disputed the early pace from between rivals, lost position heading to the turn, dropped back nearing the quarter marker then came up empty in the drive. SWISS settled off of the contested early pace, saved ground into the turn, was outrun to upper stretch and did not factor in the late stages.
