Chart notes

HEROIC MOVE settled to the first turn then was unhurried into the backstretch, advanced outside of rivals along the second turn, mounted a six wide rally to upper stretch, responded well into the lane then vied for the lead at the sixteenth-pole, took command into deep stretch and won going away. NEOEQUOS ceded the early lead then rated nicely into the first turn, well placed to the backstretch, saved ground to the far turn then waited for racing room nearing the top of the lane, found a seam approaching mid-stretch then took command into the final furlong, led to the final sixteenth, was outfinished in deep stretch and held for the place honors. GIGANTE bobbled a bit at the start then crowded in the opening strides and trailed early on, improved position into the backstretch, got caught in tight at the quarter marker then still bottled up into upper stretch, angled inside into the final furlong, finished well while rallying between foes in deep stretch and got up in time for third in a good effort. TOUCHUPONASTAR away in good order and prominent early on, stalked the decent pace into the backstretch, kept close attendance to the pacesetter into the far turn, went up to vie for the lead three wide nearing the furlong grounds, was outkicked to the final sixteenth and overtaken late for third. PUBLISHER settled to the first turn, saved ground while unhurried to the half-mile, kept an inside path to the far turn then was caught in traffic nearing the quarter pole, found room along the inside to upper stretch, angled out for the drive and gained at the furlong pole, could not muster a final response and finished evenly. THIS IS USCAR forwardly placed while five wide to the first turn, took back to the backstretch run and settled outside of rivals, coaxed three then four wide nearing the quarter pole, spun five wide to upper stretch, got caught a bit in tight at the furlong pole, could not sustain his run to the final sixteenth and flattened out. WILL TAKE IT broke a step slowly leaving the start, settled while saving ground in the early stages, gained ground two wide and between foes into the far turn, angled three then four wide for the drive, got caught a bit in tight at mid-stretch, lacked a further response and weakened late. HEAVENVILLE sent to take early command, set a solid pace while prompted into the backstretch, held off foes into the far turn and led to the quarter marker, dug in while leading from the two path into upper stretch, was overtaken into the final furlong and faded late. KOMOREBINO OMOIDE (JPN) was forwardly placed to the first turn, tracked the pace from the second flight into the backstretch, coaxed three wide into the far turn, lacked the needed response to upper stretch then gave way in the drive.
