Chart notes

MESERO set a clear pace along the inside, met an outer challenge rounding the far turn, repelled that rival and shook free in upper stretch then held well through the final furlong. TALBINGO stalked from the two path, bid outside of the leader around the far turn, but failed to maintain level terms while spinning into the lane in the four to three path, flopped back to his left lead while pursuing leaving the furlong grounds and was kept at bay to prove second best. VERSUS tracked along the inside, chased in the three path into the lane, vied for show with outer rivals thereafter and narrowly held that position. EJTIMAA settled two wide, shifted out to the five path entering the lane then ran on to miss show at the wire. DAUNT tracked from the three path, chased in the four path into the lane, vied for show with an inner foe through midstretch, then between rivals into the final sixteen but got bested. CLYDE'S GOT A GUN saved ground off of the pace to no avail. SOLEIL VOLANT lacked speed two wide, shifted out to the four path entering the lane and failed to factor. MOUNT RUNDLE trailed along the inside and got outrun.
