Chart notes

NOW NOW MAN pressed the pace from the inside through the backstretch then went between horses at the end of the final turn and battled with DUDE DROP KID in the final furlong to prove to be the best. DUDE DROP KID was well placed in the two path just off the leaders then took control after a half with a clear lead but had to battle inside of NOW NOW MAN in the final furlong to be denied. GREY SLOAN saved ground through the final turn then angled out three wide in the upper stretch but was no match for the top two. ZONG TOUGH was away well to set the early pace from the two path but gave way in the upper stretch. ACTIFDASH went four wide into the first turn then tracked the leaders from the two path made a middle move and faltered. A STAR IS BORN NOW trailed throughout and was never a threat.
