Chart notes

SAXON SAGA rated off of the decent early fractions, raced three wide into the turn, was roused four wide into the stretch, made a bit of headway nearing mid-stretch, closed fast in the final stages, caught MR. FIGHTER inside of the sixteenth-marker and kept to task in deep stretch to prevail. MR. FIGHTER hopped at the start and was away a step slowly, was sent to contest the early pace and dueled for the lead into the turn, assumed command along the bend and set decent fractions to the quarter marker, drew to a clear lead nearing the furlong marker, was confronted inside of the sixteenth-marker, could not hold off SAXON SAGA in the final stages and held for second. ARGENTINA CRIES (IRE) was forwardly placed in the early stages while outside of rivals, tracked the decent pace while three wide on the turn, chased the pacesetter to mid-stretch, made a mild late rally but lacked the needed late response and was clear in the end for third. HUMBLEBUMBLEFUMBLE lacked early speed, raced three wide into the turn, was not able to impact the leaders in the final stages but showed good late interest. CHILLY WILLY was prominent in the early going and contested the pace to the turn, lost position nearing the quarter marker, was outrun in upper stretch and gave way. BIG DIFFERENCE chased the early pace from the inside, dropped back in upper stretch and tired in the final furlong.
