Chart notes

ESCAPE ARTIST took control along the inside, took pressure from NUCLEAR in the middle stages, dueled on the far turn while saving ground, spurted away at the top of the lane under right-handed urging and remained clear under steady handling. PRECISION STRIKE stalked the pace from inside, swung out into the lane, rallied and edged NUCLEAR for second. NUCLEAR drifted out shortly after the start, stalked off the rail then went up to press from outside in the middle stages, dueled around the far turn, bobbled a bit past the quarter pole, was no match for the winner at the top of the lane and got edged for the place. RIDLEY'S MAJOR was crowded between rivals first time through the stretch, advanced three deep up the backstretch, went two to three wide on the far turn and faltered in the lane. RAJI broke a step slow and drifted some, chased three to four wide on the first turn, lacked room and took hold past the half-mile pole, dropped back on the far turn while two to three wide and failed to menace. STONKS settled a bit off the rail early, saved ground through the far turn and lacked a rally.
