Chart notes

COMMUTED settled back to be the early trailer and saved ground through the turn, started to get nudged along at the five sixteenths, angled out five wide to split runners in the upper stretch and take charge inside the final furlong, continued to respond well to minimal encouragement to expand his winning margin. RUN CLASSIC got bumped inward at the start, moved up just behind the pace along the inside for the turn, shifted out three wide at the five sixteenths and bumped into KUNSHAN BRIDGE during the process, challenged the lead in the upper stretch between runners while still rubbing shoulders with that same rival to his outside, fought on to earn the place honors. KUNSHAN BRIDGE broke well before opting to track the pace three wide through the turn, got bumped outward by RUN CLASSIC at the five sixteenths, moved up four wide between horses still at that runner's shoulder to contest the lead, put in a good effort down the lane for a game third. CONNIVING settled off the pace and into the two path for the turn, took to the outside rounding the turn, chased the winner home after he passed along his inside in the upper stretch. COOL ANDY broke on top to set a pressured pace along the inside, continued through the turn holding a narrow lead until meeting a multitude of bids in the upper stretch, grudgingly gave way inside the final furlong and ran on. BRESLAU bumped inner foe at the start, pressed the early pace setter two wide, challenged the pace between runners at the three sixteenths but got out-kicked late.
