Chart notes

CAJUN COASTER moved up along rail, challenged into the turn, dueled to deep stretch and inched clear to prove best. ASTROLOGYSPROTEGE set the pace, responded when challenged, dueled through the stretch, couldn't match strides and yielded grudgingly. MAJORITY OPINION came out at the start, advanced inside on the turn, angled out for the drive, closed steadily and earned show while no threat to the top two. DEAL WITH IT DADDY was slow early, went widest in the drive and offered a mild bid to improve position. ROMEO SPIKES was pushed out at the start, stalked the pace while racing towards the outside, bid and came up empty. PINEAPPLE WILLY was not a factor. OTRA COSA pressed the pace while racing between horses, was through early, stopped and was not urged late.
