Chart notes

SOLDIER N DIPLOMAT stalked three wide, ranged up to bid while well in hand entering the lane, drew clear in upper stretch, kicked away with good energy and was put to wraps passing the sixteenth pole. TRIPP'S PROMISE was bumped by an inner rival and forced to brush an outer foe at the start, vied two wide, chased between horses around the turn, yielded turning for home, yet regained stride in the four path in upper stretch and came again to reclaim place in the final sixteenth. REPENTLESS transferred firm contact from an inner rival to an outer foe at the start, vied along the inside, led around the turn, but proved no match for an outer bidder in upper stretch then yielded place in the final sixteenth. AWESOME CONNECTION broke outwardly and bumped a rival at the start, laid close up along the inside, stalked around the turn, chased in the three path in upper stretch but got outkicked for show at the sixteenth pole. MEELO TIME pursued from midpack in the three path, shifted out to the five path into upper stretch and failed to menace. PASSWORD was brushed by an inner foe at the start, raced off of the pace in the four path and failed to factor. MR. SENSEI broke slowly, yet avoided being pinched between foes by doing so, trailed in the two path and got outrun.
