Chart notes

TWOFEXUSNEXUS ducked in at the start and was off slowly then rushed up to join the early pace scramble, raced inside of the quartet in the front then started to assert dominance late on the turn and drew clear under steady handling in the stretch. SOPHIE'S PAINTER broke well then raced on the outside of the four horses on the early pace, was the only one left to chase the winner home past the quarter pole but could not go on with that one in the late stages. SAUCY ARGUMENT outrun from the break and last into the turn, rallied three wide into the stretch and gained third in the final furlong. ASTROLOGY WONOWON broke well and contested the early pace from between horses. dropped out near the five-sixteenths and was unable to contend late. MUNCLE was not involved early, raced mid-pack and lacked a finish. MECKES PRIORITY pulled forward after a bit of a slow start, raced in the middle of the pack through the turn then lacked a rally while racing on the rail in the stretch. YAKETY YAK raced mid-pack, bid five wide into the stretch and flattened out. HIGHER CHARGE broke well then opted to sit behind the pace battle, started to lose ground to the leaders on the turn then had nothing to offer in the stretch. MINE YOUR BIZ showed speed and contested the pace three deep, took up just past the seven-sixteenths marker, could not recover momentum then steadily faded to last from that point.
