Chart notes

MILITANT forwardly placed inside, pulled in some traffic first turn, remained within striking distance, toward the inside, two path second turn, set down, closed with good energy, split foes to be pulling away end. DAILY GRIND prompted the leader from the outside, inched closer then challenged between horses late in the final turn, narrowly showed the way past the furlong marker, proved no match for the winner late, held sway for the place. STRONSINO forwardly placed three wide from the start, challenged on the outside late in the second turn, vied through upper stretch, not enough in the late going for the place. RIYADH MOON broke alertly, set the pace along the inside, responded when challenged late in the final turn, battled on through midstretch then weakened the final furlong. DJANGO void of speed while just off the inside first turn, continued back, three to four wide when making a mild advance in the second turn, flattened out a bit in the final furlong. ELKO COUNTY in mid pack while racing inside, one paced throughout in lacking a closing response. MO EL GRANDE off a step slow, trailed after a half, improved into the stretch then went flat late. TELL 'EM I'M COMIN broke back, lacked speed, lodged a middle move while five wide into the far turn, faltered in the drive. P J'S SONG off a step slow, raced in mid pack while outside, dropped inside when beginning to weaken second turn, continued to tire stretch. AK SAR BEN DERBY stopped after a half, distanced after losing contact with the field, jogged in.
