Chart notes

HATCH hustled from gate, showed the way in hand along the inside uncontested, shook away in the latter portion of the turn and got set down spinning three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive coming under late threat and held on to prevail. CHARGING AERO broke out at the start and was corrected, chased just off the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch, drifted out two paths straightened away, got on track inside the final furlong rallying to latch on as the aforementioned foe hit the wire and missed at the end. KUNSHAN BRIDGE chased along the inside coming under coaxing three furlongs out, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to garner the show honors. JOKING WAY chased along the inside and then just off the inside down the backstretch, went three wide through the turn coming under urging midway, angled five wide for home, got carried out two paths by the drifting CHARGING AERO straightened away and stayed on one paced to the end. CEES GET DEGREES brushed the off side stall at the start getting away last and came under coaxing, began to advance inside and was placed to a hard hold with five and a half furlongs to run and eased off and then dragged back to the tail of the field, got guided outwards to be five paths off the rail, remained five wide into and through the far turn coming under light urging near the five-sixteenths, swung six wide into upper stretch, tipped out two additional paths straightened away as a pair of rivals drifted in front and made no impact. JAKE ROCKS chased two to three wide down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn pushed along from three furlongs out, cornered three to four wide into upper stretch and weakened.
