Chart notes

SYSTEMIC CHANGE settled off the pace, saved ground while roused on the turn, came off the rail under the crop into upper stretch, chased into the final furlong, was guided out while put to a strong hand-ride inside the furlong marker, rallied to the lead inside the sixteenth-pole and prevailed under a hand-ride to the finish. RITHM NIC was well rated while setting the pace off the inside, controlled the action in the two path on the turn, was given his cue in the three path at the quarter-pole, came under a right-handed crop outside the furlong marker, switched to a left-handed crop outside the sixteenth-pole, led into the final sixteenth but was caught while clear for the place. RIDGEWOOD RUNNER stalked the pace on the outside, chased in the three path on the turn, floated into the five path into the stretch, pursued the leader under a drive into the final furlong and weakened but was clear for the show. TIGER MOON settled off the pace, came under a strong hand-ride late on the backstretch, went around the turn in the three then four path and lacked the needed response. LOST IN ROME was well placed just off the pace, dropped back leaving the backstretch, was urged along in the two path on the turn and came up empty.
