Chart notes

LUV TO WIN had a slim lead while pressured outside down the backside, dictated the pace on the rail into the turn, began to edge away from the chaser when coaxed for run in upper stretch and was kept to the task to hold safe at the finish line. MENDELJOHN (IRE) was bounced around between runners on the break, was asked early so to get a good inside position behind the top two after the poor start, waited to pounce on the fence watching the front pair fight it out at the quarter pole, angled out in the four path for the drive to the line but could not gain on the winner besting the rest at the finish. MIA AND ME was in tight quarters at the start, shuffled back to be near the rear down the backstretch, began to lengthen stride on the rail two furlongs from the wire, angled out while gaining momentum at the eighth pole and was full of run in deep stretch. SMART COVERAGE pressed the winner outside down the back straight, continued to hound the winner two wide on the turn, was still in the hunt with challengers on either side turning for home but needed more late to threaten the top two in mid stretch and faded some late still while still holding on for a small share. BOSS HOLIDAY broke outwards to begin, tracked the leaders three wide outside at the half, made slight gains on the top pair through the turn and offered only an even finish to the wire. GUNGI tracked between runners in the two path four furlongs from home, was asked for more run on the rail midway on the turn, made little headway inside and could not find more on the fence to contend down the stretch. CANDY STREET settled all alone in mid pack at the half mile marker, could not close the gap on the leaders through the turn and lacked a stretch kick to be involved running to the finish line. HALF TO RELOAD broke in hitting the gate to trail down the backside, could not get involved running on the turn and was not a presence driving to the wire.
