Chart notes

COMMANDPERFORMANCE laid off of the pace in the three to two path, gained four wide around the far turn to bid turning for home, drew clear straightening for home, held sway through midstretch as a pair of outer rivals pursued, drifted out while meeting ESCAPOLOGIST's challenge in the final sixteenth and just held. ESCAPOLOGIST settled off of the pace in the two path, gained in the four to five path turning for home, sustained a rally range up to the leader in the final sixteenth but narrowly missed. MAGIC TAP took contact from an outer rival at the start before brushing an inner foe in the aftermath, stalked three wide, then two wide into the far turn, bid along with an outer oncharging foe turning for home, but was outmoved by that one entering the lane, shifted out while sustaining stride, took aim outside of the leader along with an outer foe entering the final furlong, kept on in hopes of bidding between horses in the final furlong but needed more. GALT pressed two wide and between rivals, came under strong urging along the inside into the far turn, was shuffled back behind a faltering foe while entering the lane in the two path, yet sustained a chase between horses in upper stretch and kept on for a minor share. COOKE CREEK bumped an inner rival at the start, tracked two wide and between horses, failed to sustain position around the far turn, yet regained stride after swinging to the six path entering the lane and moved up outside of rivals. CREATIVE MINISTER pursued from midpack four wide, chased three wide around the far turn, then lacked a bid between horses. ROMAN CENTURIAN took light contact from an outer rival while put to a bit of tight quarters between horses at the start, lagged behind along the inside, entered the lane in the four path and surpassed tired rivals. UNINVITED GUEST tracked along the inside, but was shuffled back behind a chasing foe with three furlongs to go and faded. TIWANAKU was sent forward after the start to set the pace, but was headed by an outer pair nearing the five sixteenths pole and subsequently stopped.
