Chart notes

TOMASELLO tracked from the two path, ranged up to bid three wide and along with an outer DISCREET DANCER entering the lane, led narrowly from that counterpart into the final furlong, shied from a right handed crop and flopped back to his left lead while sparring nearing the final sixteenth, battled to the wire and prevailed via a head-bob. DISCREET DANCER settled off of the pace three wide, advanced turning for home to bid four wide entering the lane, dueled with an inner rival through the final furlong and missed in a tight photo at the wire. EMERGENCE settled well back in the two to three path, fanned out to the four path entering the lane and rallied willingly. MIKA stalked along the inside, bid outside of the leader around the far turn, but got outkicked by an outer pair in upper stretch then yielded show to an outer bidder leaving the sixteenth pole. ENTERDADRAGON was briefly antsy in the starting gate just before the start, pursued from midpack two wide, chased in the three path in upper stretch, got outkicked by an outer foe and lacked a bid. SOLID LEFT settled off of the pace along the inside, then in the two path around the far turn and failed to menace. THERMOSCAT sped clear early on, felt pressure from an outer rival around teh far turn, got headed whilst inside of a trio of foes in upper stretch and weakened. MCILROY leaned inwardly leaving the gate, then steadied out of crowded rail quarters early on, trailed along the inside and got outrun. BLUE COAST pursued from midpack along the inside, chased around the far turn and gave way.
