Chart notes

UTOPIAN saved ground off of the pace, closed in entering the lane, issued a rail bid and sparred with an outer pair leaving upper stretch, battled with a single outer counterpart late and prevailed. CINISTER CIX stalked from the three path into the turn, shifted to the five path to take aim outside of the leading pair at the five sixteenths pole, ranged up to bid entering the lane, sparred into the final furlong, dueled with an inner foe through the closing stages but missed. ON PAR vied for the lead with an outer rival while remaining in the three path around the turn, dug in between bidders in upper stretch, sparred into the final furlong but yielded with a sixteenth to go then lasted for show. ZAP D'ETAT settled two wide, swung out to the six path in upper stretch and rallied willingly to miss show. STASHU trailed along the inside and failed to factor. EVA READY vied for the lead with an inner foe while kept in the four path around the turn, faded between horses entering the lane and weakened.
