Chart notes

DEFUNDED forwardly placed early outside the top pair, bid alongside the leader into the far turn, took over near the five-sixteenths, kicked clear soon after and drew off under right-handed urging and steady handling in the final furlong. INDIMAAJ settled off the pace early, went three to four wide earl on the first time before angling inside rival, moved to the inside on the backstretch, angled four wide into the drive and bested the rest. IMPOSSIBLE TASK bumped with outside rival leaving the gate, stalked from inside the moved out to the two path, came out on the far turn and five wide into the stretch and lacked a rally. BEYOND BRILLIANT bumped with inside rival at the start, sped to the front on the first turn, set the pace under pressure up the backstretch, cleared briefly past the half-mile pole, challenged by DEFUNDED into the second bend, lost command at the five-sixteenths, failed to fight back to the stretch and weakened to fourth. PALACE COUP stumbled leaving the gate, steadied off heels nearing the first turn, chased off the rail into the stretch, came up empty and was eased to the wire and walked off. BETITO away quickly from the outside, angled over to the three path, lost command then pressed from outside to the half-mile pole, lost ground into the far turn, dropped back around that bend, eased into and down the lane and walked off. TRUTH SEEKER lagged behind early, pulled up on the far turn and walked off.
