Chart notes

LOOKS FIRST settled off the pace, was urged along late on the backstretch, saved ground on the turn, swung out to the four path into upper stretch, rallied outside into the final furlong and closed strongly to get up in the final sixteenth and win going away. JACKSON'S DIXIE showed speed then was well placed just off the pace, chased in the two path on the turn, took the lead in the three path into upper stretch, led under a drive into the final sixteenth but was overtaken while able to get the place. MY FIRST LOVE settled off the pace, was urged along passing the nine-sixteenths pole, went around the turn in the five path, turned into upper stretch in the six path and improved to get the show. PROBLEMATICA broke alertly and went to the front, showed the way down the backstretch, was asked in the two path on the turn, lost the advantage into upper stretch and weakened. HAPPY VALENTINE was hustled from the gate, chased the pace on the outside then in the four path on the turn, dropped back in the five path into upper stretch and tired. TABLOID MATERIAL dropped back while ridden along then climbed, moved in around the nine-sixteenths pole, saved ground on the turn and was no factor.
