Chart notes

POCKET SQUARE (GB) bobbled at the start, tracked inside early on before tipping to the two path midway on the first turn settling unhurried just off the inside, remained patiently handled until given some rein to work with three furlongs from home, began a steady advance and swung four wide into upper stretch, getting roused straightened away, rallied to overthrow the leader just inside the eighth pole, then drew clear to the finish to prevail. KEY BISCAYNE lightly coaxed from the gate, raced two to three paths off the rail past the stands the initial time before briefly tucking in behind BRAMBLE BAY into the turn along the inside, tipped out to the two path soon after and settled in closest aim of the leader before advancing to latch on that rival half a mile from home, steadily whittled away at the leader coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, got set down spinning two to three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive between foes to the eighth pole before running on to win the battle for the place honors. BRAMBLE BAY established the front and showed the way in hand along the inside settled into a comfortable rhythm through sensible splits patiently handled until roused cutting the corner into upper stretch, dug in under threat from a pair and was displaced from command just inside the eighth pole, dug in battling on with the aforementioned foe but was ultimately bested by that rival for the place honors while safe for the show. HUNGRY KITTEN broke out a step at the start, saved ground at the tail of the field, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went four wide into upper stretch and improved position by a rival while making no late headway on the front. HOGANS HOLIDAY two to three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled out five wide at the head of the stretch and was outrun.
