Chart notes

DIGITAL FUTURE broke out a step at the start and traded a bump with ONE THE DEAN'S LIST, raced inside briefly before tipping out to the two path shifting out BECKENBAUER to the three path settling just off the pace tracking the front, remained patiently handled until placed to coaxing near the quarter pole, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command a furlong out, dug in tussling with the runner up holding a narrow advantage and came inwards steps from the wire under a right sided crop to prevail by a neck. FIRST LAW three wide in closest aim of the leader, tucked to the two path and advanced on that rival latching on to press the issue with three-eighths to go, spun just off the inside for home, dug in under a drive between foes a furlong out, fought on inside the top one to the finish shying in steps from the wire as that rival came inwards. KAWHI ME A RIVER struck the near side stall at the start and broke towards the top despite it, tracked the pace along the inside, cut the corner into upper stretch, was under a light drive in behind COOL QUEST gaining clearance along the hedge inside that rival intermittently while unable to catch the seam, paused briefly a sixteenth out as COOL QUEST came slightly inwards before being able to move through the lane late running on to get up by a head for the show honors. COOL QUEST lightly coaxed just off the inside down the backstretch showing the way, tucked inside through the turn coming under increasing pressure to the outside, got coaxed along at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under threat from a pair and was collared a furlong out, dug in getting outfinished in the late stages. PARTNER'S HOPE got bumped at the start by BECKENBAUER breaking inwards, then got pinballed between that rival and ONE THE DEAN'S LIST for two more bumps before being pinched out between rivals conceding three to four lengths to the front, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung five wide for home and offered no response. BECKENBAUER broke in at the start bumping the aforementioned foe before pinching that rival out in tandem with ONE THE DEAN'S LIST, chased two to three wide until tucked inside through the turn, spun just off the inside for home and weakened. CANYOUHEARMENOW chased four wide under a ride from the three-eighths and tired. ON THE DEAN'S LIST broke inwards brushing the near side stall before trading a bump with DIGITAL FUTURE and then ricocheting off that rival to bump PARTNER'S HOPE in concert with BECKENBAUER before squeezing that rival between back, chased three then two wide under coaxing from three furlongs out, spun three wide for home and made no impact.
