Chart notes

GUFO brushed the off side stall at the start and settled along the inside at the tail of the field through the first turn and past the stands the initial time, remained inside through the clubhouse turn before tipping two to three wide down the backstretch, steadily gained to mid pack now three wide before tucking to the two path nudging JAPAN to his inside into the far turn briefly before tipping back to the three path put to coaxing nearing the five-sixteenths, got the jump on JAPAN to the seam he initially sought out, spun three wide into upper stretch and got leaned on in behind by JAPAN and denied the move taking command at the three-sixteenths, dug in under a drive under growing threat to the outside and rebuffed the challenge to prevail gamely on the wire. JAPAN (GB) settled just off the inside tracking the front from mid pack through the opening mile, got nudged briefly inside near the three-eighths and tipped back to the two path put to coaxing when attempting to outpace GUFO for first run at the leaders, spun just off the inside for home just off the hind end of GUFO and attempted to lean out straightened away and was denied the move being brushed just off the three-sixteenths, altered out to the four path near the eighth pole roused, closed well outside under an off side crop but was ultimately repelled at the finish. CROSS BORDER settled four paths off the inside near the rear early on and went three wide through the first turn before moving past the stands the first time also three wide, tucked to the two path through the clubhouse turn before making his way on hold five then four paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked three wide into the far turn getting placed to coaxing three furlongs from home, cornered three wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild bid through the final furlong to get up in the last strides for the show honors. ROCKEMPEROR (IRE) saved ground early on through the first turn and through the stretch the initial time before tipping out three to four wide into the second turn, chased five then four wide down the backstretch and continued four wide through the far turn coming under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, went four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and stayed on one paced to the line. TRIBHUVAN (FR) lightly coaxed from the start, realized CHANNEL MAKER was intent on the front and eased off along that rival's inside into the first turn tipping to the two path through that bend, tracked the leader in closest aim just off the inside from that point onwards applying little pressure save through his presence to the outside until put to coaxing five-sixteenths from home, took over command at the quarter pole and spun just off the inside for home, got collared at the three-sixteenths and weakened in the final furlong. CHANNEL MAKER came under hustling from the gate intent on the lead and settled showing the way under rating in the two path through the first turn and through the stretch, tucked inside into the second turn and rode closest to the rail down the backstretch and into the far turn as the pace began to quicken, came under challenge to the outside and got placed to coaxing with five-sixteenths remaining, cut the corner headed for command into upper stretch, dug in prominent to the eighth pole, then weakened in the late going. MORETTI coaxed lightly from the gate, chased three to four wide from near the rear, came under coaxing with seven-sixteenths to go, went four to five wide through the far turn growing detached at the tail of the field, went five wide for home and was eased home to the finish.
