Chart notes

GOTTA KEEP HIM was void of early speed, advanced inside on the second turn, bid off the rail, closed steadily and wore down his rivals to get up in the final strides. PINEHURST (IRE) vied inside, drew clear entering the stretch, led to the final strides and was outfininshed in a good effort. C MAC DA BOSS raced wide, vied to deep stretch and was outfinished in a game effort. CURLINS INCHARGE broke out, was never far back, bid four wide entering the stretch and finished well. CAJUN BLAST was checked into the first turn, saved ground, bid along the rail on the second turn, was within range and failed to rally. RANDY DAYTONA was carried out on the first turn, dropped in, raced in close early, was rated back, bid three wide and came up empty. READY SHOES hopped at the start, was slow early, advanced to the turn, swung wide and offered a mild bid to improve position. WESTERN RUN raced mid pack in an even effort and failed to threaten. PENEI was rated back at the start, trailed the field and passed tiring rivals. GUNNY HIGHWAY was not a factor. KAH NIGH was through early.
