Chart notes
INESPERADO , patiently handled while saving ground, took closer order past the five sixteenths, responded and moved through towards the rail to take over leaving mid stretch, kept on determinedly under pressure and held sway. MEET JOE rated close up while saving ground, eased out into the lane, challenged outside foes in mid stretch and kept on gamely to the wire. EMPEROR'S CHOICE vied two wide and to the inside of a rival, moved clear near the five sixteenths, held a slim advantage between foes in mid stretch, ceded soon after and gave way grudgingly. MACEDONIAN RULER (AUS) , unhurried early while saving ground, continued inside into the stretch, swung out near the furlong ground and finished with good energy. PLAYOFF BOUND drifted in a bit after the break and steadied briefly, moved up two wide past the five sixteenths, shifted out in the drive and faded. HONKY TONK HERO , three wide into the first turn, settled off the pace, angled to about the seven path in upper stretch but lacked a serious finish. IRISH HEATWAVE , taken to rate early, rushed up between runners nearing the far turn, pursued past the five sixteenths, shifted out to about the four path and gave way in the final furlong. JOKER MATT , three wide stalking the embattled leaders, altered out near the quarter pole and weakened. JOHNNY DAR , hard sent from the gate, sped to an early lead then relinquished that to EMPEROR'S CHOICE, stayed on to force the issue three wide outside that one through the backstretch run, failed to keep pace nearing the lane and tired.
