Chart notes

UNITED FOREVER sent clear leaving the first turn, unchallenged around the far turn, kicked away through the lane for the score. SPIRIT AND TRUTH bumped at the start, stalked the pace around the club house turn, two wide pursuit leaving the quarter pole, chased on well late, bested the rest. EMPIRE'S TREAT rated off the early pace, bid four wide into the lane, rallied through the final sixteenth, to nail down the show. TROUBLE AND STRIFE broke slow, advanced inside down the back stretch, clean rail tuning for home, evened out through the final sixteenth. CICATRIZ rated off the pace six wide down the backside, put to task five deep leaving the quarter pole, had no late punch. EQUAL SUCCESS, broke mid-pack, chased the pace three wide into the far turn, under pressure upper, came up empty late. BOURBON AND BEAUTY hustled up into the first turn, trailer down the backside, had no late impact. MAKAAN bumped at the start, saved ground well off the pace, never factored.
