Chart notes

AWESOME AARON , four wide and in range, took closer order of the embattled leaders leaving the five sixteenths, sustained under left handed asks, brushed with PHILEAS FOGG when moving to command with about seventy yards remaining then was edging away at the wire. PHILEAS FOGG angled out soon after the start and prompted the pace outside ENCINO, edged up within himself and applied more pressure into the far turn, dueled, took over entering the lane, shook clear under left handed pressure, wandered outward when engaged by the winner inside the sixteenth pole then gave way grudgingly. STAR OF WONDER , three wide early, edged up between rivals leaving the five eighths, dropped inside exiting the far turn and continued progress under a ride, came out with aim on the leaders into the stretch then failed to kick on through the final furlong. SAN SIRO had a shoe repair in the paddock, lost ground four wide around the first turn, continued three to four wide, made a bit of a run near midstretch then flattened out. CATALEYA STRIKE , in a bit close at the break, rated off of a rival in the opening furlong, angled out for the backstretch run, circled four wide under a ride into the lane and churned on without threatening. TIME FOR TROUBLE saved ground stalking the pace, was put to a ride around the far turn and failed to respond. ENCINO broke on top despite a slight bobble, quickly cleared, set the pace towards the inside, dug in when joined into the far turn, sparred under a ride to upper stretch then weakened leaving midstretch. JUST STEEL stumbled badly at the break, regrouped and pulled his way forward while saving ground entering the backstretch, eased out leaving the far turn, failed to go on under pressure and retreated. RED ROUTE ONE lagged far back off the pace while saving some ground, was under a ride soon into the backstretch, faltered and was eased through the final furlong.
