Chart notes

GILES settled while saving ground on the first turn, rallied at the quarter pole and drew close, drew off late under firm ahndling. SMASH set the pace with a clear lead, was hooked in mid stretch, could not match strides late with the winner but held place. GUCCISSIMO raced in the second flight, rallied in the stretch on the rail an finished well. NOBLE BEHAVIOR had a good position for three quarters, then had no rally. EXPRESS BOY was allowed to settle and failed to menace. TROPICAL CYCLONE was no threat. WATCH YOUR STEP was well placed, for a half, the dropped back.
