Chart notes

EXCELLENT EMPIRE stalked the early pace three wide, made a bid at the three eighths alongside XAVI, battled with that one before meeting another bidder at the eighth pole, dueled between foes and dug in late. SHAGGY EDGE tracked the pace between foes, swung out four wide at the top of the stretch and moved up to contest the dueling leaders at the eighth, fought hard but was denied by the winner. XAVI stalked the pace between foes in the early stages, launched a bid at the three eighths alongside EXCELLENT EMPIRE, vied with that one until being joined by SHAGGY EDGE at the eighth pole, battled those two down the stretch but was out-finished. HEARTBREAK GAME settled off the pace along the inside, closed willingly in the stretch. QUALITY STORM broke sharply, met a couple bids at the three eighths and surrendered to them, faded down the stretch. HOBBS settled off the pace, checked back at the seven sixteenths, trailed then on.
