Chart notes

STARSHIP PIONEER rated in the two path, waited along the inside early into the far turn, swung out to the six path turning into the lane, drifted in while rallying going into the final furlong, and drew past an inner duo in the closing stages. MADAKET'S ARROW set the pace in the two path, was confidently handled while just off the rail rounding the far turn, tipped out to the three path while being cued at the top of the stretch, dug in into the final furlong, but was caught by an outer foe late. SUDOKU TERRY laid up close in the three path turning into the backstretch, bid two wide around the far turn, floated out to the four path turning into the lane, and kept on for show. IN AWE stalked in the two path, was coaxed along the inside into the far turn, and mildly stayed on down the lane. CERCHI tracked in the three path, was ridden around the far turn, swung from the five path into the stretch, but was in tight through the final furlong and made no impact. ETNA'S NAPPER hopped at the start, trailed in the three path, fanned out to the eight path turning into the lane, but did not threaten. SPREZZATURA raced off the pace in the four path but was no menace. AN OBJECTION LODGED BY THE RIDER OF CERCHI AGAINST THE RIDER OF STARSHIP PIONEER FOR INTERFERENCE IN THE STRETCH, AS WELL AS A STEWARDS INQUIRY TO LOOK AT THE INCEDENT RESULTED IN NO CHANGE
