Chart notes

SOLO VENTURI settled off the pace while racing three wide, advanced outside around the far turn, seized command turning for home and widened under a drive. STARS AND STRIPES raced in range two and three wide, had aim outside of the winner in upper stretch but was second best. BATTEN DOWN set a clear pace inside, yielded turning for home and held well enough to preserve the show. MAGNA TIME played no factor while racing two wide. DIGITAL OPS was hustled along but outsprinted by BATTEN DOWN, chased three wide around the first turn and retreated inside around the far turn.
