Chart notes

SPIRITUAL ADVISOR forwardly placed along the inside, came under a ride while angling three wide on the far turn, reeled in the top pair midstretch, seized control at the sixteenth pole and held over the runner-up. FORZA AZZURRI stalked in the three path around the first turn, chased between rivals in the two path early on the second bend, got moved out to the four path by the winner around the bend, came with a late run to draw alongside the winner but ran out of ground. BALLYHOOLIGAN chased in the two path, bid outside at the half-mile pole, dueled around the far turn and put a head in front, battled into the final furlong and was outkicked by the top pair. TIGGRRR WHITWORTH showed the way from inside, pressured by BALLYHOOLIGAN at the halfway mark, lost the lead dueling on the far turn, fought back into the last sixteenth and flattened late. CUPID'S CRUSADER tracked in the four path around the first turn, moved forward on the backstretch, chased three deep into the far turn, came four wide into the lane and weakened. SMARTY NOSE unhurried in the beginning, got forced out and steadied early on the clubhouse turn, angled back in a few paths, lagged behind up the backstretch, trailed two then three wide on the far turn and was never a factor. MICI'S EXPRESS followed along the rail, sustained in injury early on the first turn and was pulled up, then transported off the track via equine ambulance.
