Chart notes

MIDWAY LANE led two wide into the first turn then moved inside while under pressure from MONTANA JET, showed the way inside a pair of rivals up the backstretch, kicked clear midway around the far turn, then widened through the lane and while ridden out to the wire. GHOSTWRITTEN pulled along the inside early, followed the top trio from the rail up the backstretch, tipped three wide at the quarter pole, edged FAUSTO for the place honors but could not make any headway on the winner. FAUSTO stalked in the three path around the first turn, pressed three deep in the middle stages, could not keep up with MIDWAY LANE and chased three then two wide to the stretch, weakened in the lane and lost second. MONTANA JET pressed the pace from outside, between rivals up the backstretch, failed to kick on with the winner past the three-eighths pole, chased two wide then along the rail into the lane and tired. ATTACK NOW trailed on the inside, lagged behind up the backstretch and far turn, then failed to make an impact down the lane.
