Chart notes

MINTASTIC saved ground off the pace into the far turn, gutsy rail move along the rail leaving the furlong marker, determined drive nailed down the victory under strong handling. SCHIFTY'S HALOID raced off the pace four wide down the back stretch, upped the tempo took aim three wide into the lane, rallied with good energy for the place. POKERKNIGHTATVEES broke sharp, set the pace just off the rail into the far turn, collared from both sides leaving the sixteenth post, chased on willingly for the show. PROVEN ADVOCATE antsy in the gate pre-start, pinched back when the bell rung, settled into stride off the pace into the far turn, roused on four wide through the final furlong, finished evenly under the wire. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT bumped at the start, raced off the pace and off the inside into the far turn, bid seven deep into the lane, had no late punch. CURLINS INCHARGE drafted inside just off the top pair into the second bend, herded leaving the quarter pole, gave ay through the stretch. ROYALIST saved ground well off the pace, never threatened. C'MON CHAOS stalked the pace three wide down the backside, under stress between runners leaving the quarter pole, faltered through the lane.
