Chart notes

PERFECT STAR pressed the pace while two wide and continued to hold into the far turn then bid at the top of the stretch to draw clear for the win. METROPOL stalked the leader while two wide, bid three wide into the far turn then rallied into the stretch but was not enough. FRED'STWIRLINCANDY chased the pace while four wide then rallied in the same path at the top of the stretch proving best late in the stretch drive. JOHAN ZOFFANI (IRE) settled three wide on the backstretch then angled inside on the far turn but was no factor. MISHKO was unhurried throughout the backstretch then had a mild rally at the top of the stretch but was no threat. PEPPER JACK was quick to set the pace but after bidding on the far turn, stopped. KHOLA settled inside then bid at the top of the stretch but was no factor.
