Chart notes

DETERMINISTIC four then three wide in pursuit from just off the pace, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled ten wide into upper stretch among a quartet, rallied with good energy inside the eighth pole to collar the leader just outside the sixteenth marker, then edged clear to the finish to prevail. JUST A TOUCH seven paths off the inside in pursuit in aim of the leader, tucked six wide through the turn getting placed to coaxing at the three-eighths, went ten to eleven paths off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under a drive rallying willingly to get up for the place honors in the final jumps to the finish. EL GRANDE O prompted the leader from the outside six then five wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, seized command at the quarter pole and went ten wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat inching away to the eighth pole, got collared just outside the sixteenth pole and kept on to preserve the show honors clear of the rest. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS broke in at the start and was corrected, advanced inside to take over the front and showed the way five then four paths off the rail under pressure from the aforementioned foe to his outside, came under coaxing midway on the turn as the pressure intensified, angled nine wide into upper stretch displaced from the front, dug in prominent to the furlong grounds, then weakened in the late stages. CAPITAL IDEA chased nine paths off the inside down the backstretch and then six wide through the turn under coaxing from three furlongs out, went seven wide into upper stretch and stayed on one paced to the finish. DEPOSITION chased five wide down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn coaxed along from the seven-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. LIGHTLINE chased seven to eight wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, tipped eight to nine wide at the head of the stretch, tired. BERGEN six paths off the inside in pursuit from mid pack down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn getting placed to coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, went six wide into upper stretch and tired. ELIMINATE chased seven to eight paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked to the two path placed to coaxing at the half mile pole and was ridden along through the turn, swung three wide at the top of the stretch, then tired in the drive. FACENDA got forced to steady at the start when appearing to be pinched out, grew detached quickly at the tail of the field six paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn, continued three wide into upper stretch well behind and was unable to make an impact. AIR CAV chased five then six wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, went nine to ten wide into upper stretch, folded, and was eased home to the finish.
