Chart notes

SMOOTH AN EASY settled off the early pace racing in hand, advanced two deep near the quarter pole, angled out through the drive to race outside of rivals and surged up under all out pressure. ZENICK tracked the early leader in hand two deep from the outside, challenged the leader through the far turn, dug between late and missed in a game effort. BE WISER BOB stalked the pace, loomed three wide near the quarter pole and kept on willingly to the wire. RODHAN showed good early speed to set the pace along the inside and weakened the final sixteenth of a mile. MIDNIGHT APPROVAL stalked the top pair from the inside and had no final winning bid. JUNIOR CHIEF was unhurried early, raced four wide into the upper stretch and lacked a rally. RUDI dropped back to race mid pack early, raced two to three wide around the far turn and failed to respond. VAN CLEEF had a poor start while taking up sharply, saved ground and never threatened.
