Chart notes

DEER CROSSING prompted the pace off the inside, continued to stalk into and through the final turn, engaged the leader when straightened for home, dueled past the furlong marker outside that rival, edged clear under steady handling. EVERLOVINGHAND took command from the outside past the wire the first time, clear through the first turn, continued to show the way up the backstretch and final turn, responded when confronted by the winner in upper straight, raced on equal terms past the furlong marker, could not match strides the final sixteenth, clearly second best. PUTTHEHAMMERDOWN void of speed for five furlongs, improved through some traffic late in the final turn and into the straight, proved no match for the top two late, well clear of the others. MIZSPELT settled off the pace, one paced while three wide into the lane, continued in even fashion to the wire in lacking a closing kick. IT'S A BIRD remained back in failing to menace. PORT O' CALL back off the early pace, improved with a mild middle move then flattened out in the drive. SPRY CHARLIE off slowly, moved out outside to a forward position before a quarter, raced with the winner up the backstretch, gave way in the second turn, jogged in when finishing well back. DIGNIFIED N KRAFTY also off slowly, moved out to be four wide into the first turn, stopped after a half, jogged in as well after losing contact with the field.
