Chart notes

RUSE broke sharply at the start right to the front, showed the way in hand along the inside through moderate splits settled into a comfortable rhythm, came under challenge for the initial time in earnest near the five-sixteenths and was placed to coaxing in response, cut the corner into upper stretch, edged away under a drive to the finish holding well to prevail. PANSTER broke out a step at the start and was corrected, tracked the pace along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch and ran on willingly to the finish to secure the place honors. CATCH THAT PARTY away well, showed early speed getting on near even terms for the front before going three then two wide through the first turn being placed to a hard hold mouth agape to ease off RUSE, settled just off the inside in closest aim of that leader isolated between that rival and the main body of the field in behind, came under coaxing three furlongs from home, swung three then two wide into upper stretch, paused just inside the eighth pole as RUSE came outwards safely in front, then kept on to the finish getting collared for the place honors in the final jumps. GRAPE NUTS WARRIOR settled just off the inside in pursuit from mid pack behind the cover of a rival, tipped three wide into the clear with nine-sixteenths to go and came under light coaxing at the three-eighths tucked back to the two path, spun three wide for home and offered up a mild bid. VOLIERO saved ground in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing with five-sixteenths remaining, angled four wide into upper stretch and improved position passing tired rivals. MR. KRINGLE two to three wide through the opening bend, settled unhurried two to three wide near the rear, tucked inside into the far turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled out four wide into upper stretch and offered no response. AUSTRIAN just off the inside through the first turn, raced three to four wide in the clear down the backstretch near the rear of the field, came under coaxing three wide at the five-sixteenths, swung five wide for home and weakened. NOBLE CONQUEST broke a half a beat slow, saved ground growing detached at the tail of the field early on, came under a ride with three furlongs remaining, spun four wide at the head of the stretch and made no impact. COUNT FROST tracked the pace two to three wide under encouragement from the five-sixteenths and faltered.
