Chart notes

SHADOW COAST brushed with an inner rival and bumped with an outer foe at the start, tracked from the three path and between horses, shifted five wide to take aim outside of the leaders in upper stretch, bid at the furlong grounds and edged past late. IMPERIAL RULER broke outwardly, stalked from the four path, bid four wide in upper stretch, led into the final furlong but got outkicked by an outer bidder late and held place. GUARDIAN brushed with an outer foe at the start, stalked along the inside, slipped through to issue a rail bid leaving the three sixteenths pole, vied into the final furlong but needed more. WHERE Y'AT brushed with an inner foe at the start, pressed the leader from the three path, bid between horses in upper stretch, vied through midstretch but yielded in the final furlong. WAR MUNNY trailed along the inside, shifted out to the six path in upper stretch and lacked a bid. PULGARCITO bumped with an inner foe and brushed with an outer rival at the start, set the pace in the two path then faded between bidders in midstretch. MR. SENSEI was bumped and pinched between horses at the start, raced off of the pace in the four path, fanned to the seven path into the lane and tired.
