Chart notes

AZURE STAR (IRE) broke alertly and established the early lead away from the gate, drew to a clear lead along the first turn then rated nicely into the backstretch run, set moderate fractions to the half-mile, extended the lead while well handled along the second turn, widened the lead into the stretch and drew clear at the furlong marker, felt pressure from LOOKOUT POINT inside of the sixteenth-pole, was all out to hold off the runner-up in the final strides and lasted while fully extended at the finish. LOOKOUT POINT settled outside of runners in the early stages and raced four wide along the first turn, improved position into the backstretch run and tracked the moderate fractions to the half-mile, gave chase while three wide along the far turn, lost ground to AZURE STAR into the stretch, finished well inside of the furlong marker, steadily closed on AZURE STAR into deep stretch, drew to even terms in the final yards and just missed for the win, while clear of the rest for second. ITS THIEVERY stalked the early pace while three wide, tracked outside of rivals along the backstretch run, was coaxed along in the four path heading to the quarter marker, chased the top two into the stretch, was able to make a mild late gain but was outfinished in deep stretch, while holding for third. BEROLIJEAN (FR) was away slowly and was allowed to settle in the early running, improved position along the backstretch run and tracked the moderate pace to the second turn, came two wide into the stretch and ran evenly to the furlong marker, shifted three wide into deep stretch, was gaining in the final stages but lacked the needed late response. BIG GIFT lost her path at the start and was away a bit slowly, settled inside while not far back in the early running, saved all of the ground to the far turn, ran evenly to mid-stretch, was able to offer a mild late response but was outkicked in the final sixteenth. RUNNING ON EMPTY was forwardly placed away from the start and stalked the early pace along the first turn, tracked the moderate pace through the backstretch run, chased from the rail along the far turn, was outrun to mid-stretch, stopped in the final furlong, was eased to the finish and walked off under his own power.
