Chart notes

JALEN JOURNEY hustled from the gate, chased just off the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, took over command set down spinning three wide into upper stretch and went clear under a drive to prevail. ROCK ON LUKE veered in at the start forcing WICKED TRICK to steady off his heels and ANSWER IN to be taken briefly in hand when bumped between foes, came under coaxing and continued to cross to the inside to show the way in hand through swift splits, came under challenge nearing the quarter pole and was displaced from the front spinning just off the inside for home, dug in under a drive no match for the top one while just holding for the place honors over a pair. ENDORSED coaxed from the start, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly for the show honors loosely between rivals through the final sixteenth. PULSATE broke out a step at the start bumping ANSWER IN in concert with WICKED TRICK, chased three wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and kept on to miss for the place and show honors. ANSWER IN got bumped between foes at the start and was briefly taken in hand as ROCK ON LUKE veered in front conceding three lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased two to three wide under encouragement from the five-sixteenths, swung five wide for home and tired. WICKED TRICK shied in slightly bumping with ANSWER IN and was steadied off the heels of ROCK ON LUKE at the start conceding three lengths to the front before able to settle into stride under coaxing, chased three to four wide under a motivation from the five-sixteenths, went six wide at the head of the stretch and made no impact.
