Chart notes
NITTI (IRE) was content to trail through the opening stages along the inside, was on the move passing runners while in the two path on the final turn, asked right handed three wide turning for home, switched to the left hand and reeled in the top pair with a sixteenth remaining and won going away. TIME SONG stepped to the front and controlled the pace in hand from inside, padded the advantage on the clubhouse turn, held a diminished lead through the far turn, asked right handed in upper stretch, maintained command over BALLADEER to midstretch, then got confronted by NITTI (IRE) at the sixteenth pole, offered no resistance to the eventual winner and held second. BALLADEER stalked the pacesetter in hand while moving to the inside, lost a bit of ground while remaining in range on the clubhouse turn, crept closer leaving the backstretch, took aim from the two path entering the lane but could not summon the needed late kick. DIVIN PROPOS (FR) sat off the pace outside SANTA BARBARIAN, got moved out a bit by that rival crossing the dirt then came back to the two path, found the rail on the final turn and failed to menace. SANTA BARBARIAN followed in range for a bit then settled off the pace on the inside, moved off the fence across the dirt then returned to the rail, fell back to last on the final turn and came up empty in the stretch run.
