Chart notes

RISK MANAGER settled off of the pace three to four wide, picked up stride while advancing four to five wide around the far turn, bid outside of multiple bidding rivals approaching midstretch, outkicked those foes leaving the furlong grounds, and drove clear in the final sixteenth while hanging on his left lead. GIRL DAD stalked comfortably from the inside, briefly awaited racing room behind a wall of bidding foes while shifting out in upper stretch, tipped six wide at the furlong grounds for clear sailing as RISK MANAGER took control, then stayed on with a late kick to just reach place at the wire while gaining on the leader. OPTIMUS KAT pressed the pace two wide early on, took back to stalk into the far turn after UNCAPPED made an early bid, tipped three wide turning for home to range up outside of that rival entering the lane, bid in upper stretch simultaneously with a pair of outer foes, led briefly at the furlong marker, but was outkicked leaving that station, fought on for place thereafter, but was nailed on the wire. HAWK OF WAR got rank between horses early on, tucked to the two path while off of the pace, tugged against the rider to be between horses into the backstretch, remained unsettled until the five furlong pole, then got floated seven wide in upper stretch, and produced a belated rally for a minor placing. EPIMYTHIUM tracked from midpack four to three wide around the first turn, stalked intently while inching closer three to four wide around the far turn, rallied to bid for the lead between horses approaching midstretch, but was outkicked by foes on each side passing the furlong grounds, and yielded. BLANKET OF ROSES settled at the rear two wide, shifted four wide entering the lane, and improved. FIELDSTONE saved ground in midpack, then chased well between horses through the lane. GREENER PASTURES set the pace, but was headed by a group of foes in upper stretch, and weakened on her left lead. UNCAPPED stalked three wide, tugged forward entering the backstretch to vie at the five furlong pole, sustained two wide vying position around the far turn, but was outkicked by outer foes in upper stretch, and weakened. HARPOON HARRY settled far back three wide, attempted a five to six wide rally around the far turn, but failed to factor. ROYAL TRYST lied at the rear along the inside, and was outrun. PERFECT CUT tracked two wide and between horses, but lost position into the far turn, and faded.
