Chart notes

WARLANDER stalked the early pace outside of MONTEREY BAY, took command along the backstretch then showed the way to the far turn, dug in into upper stretch, met the bid of PADIDDLE into the final furlong and held off the runner-up in the late stages to prevail. PADIDDLE allowed to settle to the backstretch, advanced outside of rivals along the far turn, rallied four to five wide to upper stretch, loomed into the lane then confronted WARLANDER into the final furlong, couldn't get by the determined winner in deep stretch. MY BOY TONY crowded at the start and a bit slow leaving the gate, settled mid-pack into the backstretch, well placed to the far turn then bid two to three wide nearing the top of the stretch, vied between rivals to the furlong grounds, couldn't keep pace with the top pair into the lane but was a clear third. EMPIRE WEST unhurried to the backstretch, coaxed outside of runners to the far turn, navigated traffic behind rivals nearing the half-mile pole, angled out nearing the top of the stretch, ran in pursuit to the furlong grounds and lacked a final kick. MONTEREY BAY vied for the lead away from the gate, took command then led to the backstretch, took an awkward stride while getting overtaken at the seven-eighths pole then stalked the pace from the inside heading into the far turn, couldn't find more at the quarter marker then weakened in the stretch drive. TIME SONG in tight between runners early on, tracked from the second flight and between foes into the backstretch, well placed to the far turn, again caught in tight between foes approaching the top of the lane, dropped back to upper stretch then tired in the final stages. JUTLAND close up to the early pace while three wide, tracked from the second flight into the backstretch run, chased three wide along the far turn, couldn't find more to upper stretch then gave way. NAVID (GB) off a bit slow leaving the start, rushed up in the early stages then settled mid-pack into the backstretch, lost position approaching the far turn, lacked the needed response to upper stretch and failed to threaten in the drive. KICK A BUCK well placed while saving ground in the early stages, dropped back along the far turn, couldn't muster the needed response to upper stretch and faltered in the final furlong. NO MERLOT settled in the early stages, was outrun entering the backstretch, distanced to the far turn, eased through the lane and walked off.
