Is There A Way To Smoothly Trace An Ellipse-Like Shape In Fusion 360?

Hello All -

 

I am able to import the attached image to the canvas and get a somewhat smooth shape by using the spline tool, however, is there a way to smoothly trace my image?  When I say "smooth" I am thinking of "smooth" in the sense of the smooth rounded edges that result from simply using the ellipse tool or an arc.  I tried to use the ellipse tool, but I could not get it to match my specific image perfectly and using arcs and lines would not allow me to trace my image perfectly either?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

A closed fit point spline with 4 fit points should be a perfect starting point:
