Chart notes

AL AMEEQ vied two wide, led narrowly around the turn, resisted a pair of outer challenges entering the lane, shook free in upper stretch and held sway from a pursuer. MELLIFLUOUS laid off of the pace four wide, inched closer to track around the turn, ranged up and offered a bid entering the lane, but chased an inner rival in upper stretch, wandered about in pursuit in the final furlong and was kept at bay. ROCKETEIGHTYEIGHT laid off of the pace in the three path, steadied among foes at the three furlong pole, shifted out to the five path soon after, then stayed on to edge show at the furlong grounds but failed to threaten the top pair. OVERSTATEMENT broke multiple lengths slow, trailed in the three path, shfited out to the six path in upper stretch and stayed on to reach fourth at the wire. DU MONDE chased along the inside, shifted out nearing the lane, then to the three path in upper stretch, surpassed tiring rivals in the final furlong but got outfinished by an outer rival and missed fourth. LUCCHESI pressed three wide, then between horses turning for home, but faded in upper stretch. ENDLESS REIGN vied along the inside, but yielded to a trio of outer rivals at the five sixteenths pole and continued to fade through the lane.
