Chart notes

FOURTH AND CENTRAL pressed the pace into the turn, edged up to take control nearing the quarter pole and pulled away in the stretch unchallenged. BANDED ROCKET reserved off the pace early, rallied steadily closing ground on the turn to be prominent turning for home and ran-on willingly as second best unable to gain on the winner in the stretch. TAP TO MISCHIEF unhurried early to be at the back of the field and put in a late bid to be along for the show. CRUZIN MAN set the pace under steady pressure to midway on the turn and weakened at the head of the stretch. STICKY MCSHNICKENS failed to menace. CARAMBASO stalked the pace to be well placed at the head of the lane and gave way through the stretch.
