Chart notes

SIFTING SANDS (GB) coaxed from the gate, settled just off the inside just off the pace, came under coaxing three furlongs from home, swung three wide into upper stretch, offered up a good kick to close in through the final furlong and was just up at the wire. DREAMER'S DISEASE established the front and showed the way under rating along the inside through moderate splits, remained patiently handled and cut the corner into upper stretch, got roused near the three-sixteenths, dug in under a drive under growing threat to the outside and was nailed in the very last strides to the finish. WOLFIE'S DYNAGHOST forwardly placed tracking the leader from the two path, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and kept on under a drive to be along safe for the show honors. DANZIGWITHTHESTARS saved ground near the rear of the field, came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole, angled out five wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. DR JACK saved ground in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch and offered no kick. RANGER FOX pulled on the bit eager early on under the restraint of the rider and grew rank along the inside through hard held until five furlongs remained, tracked the leader from a loose pocket and came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened in the drive. IN EFFECT just off the inside near the rear of the field, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, angled four wide into upper stretch and offered no response. STRAW INTO GOLD spun three wide into the first turn and tucked to the two path midway, settled unhurried near the tail of the field, came under coaxing just past the five-sixteenths, angled out six wide at the top of the stretch and tired.
