Chart notes

FORT RIDGE settled in second last, was pushed along in the two to three path on the turn and began to improve, came two wide into upper stretch, split horses near the three sixteenths, drove clear approaching the furlong pole and drew off while kept to the task. TALE OF THE NILE stumbled at the start, settled at the rear, gained closer order from near the three eighths while racing in the three path on the turn, angled out to the eight path in upper stretch, rallied, and got up for the place inside the final forty yards. FLEETWAY was bumped in the opening strides by POWER CRY, bumped into HIGH HERO as a result, chased the leading trio between horses early, continued to chase in the four path on the turn, swung five wide into upper stretch, kept on willingly while no match for the winner, but lost the place late. DEANO attended the pace inside of POWER CRY in the opening furlong, settled back to track the leading trio approaching the turn, chased while saving ground around the bend, swung four wide into upper stretch and failed to find the needed kick in the stretch. CROCE D'ORO chased the leading trio outside of FLEETWAY early, settled toward the rear into the turn, was hard urged in the three to four path past the three eighths, swung six wide into upper stretch, was forced further out by TALE OF THE NILE, and lacked the needed rally. HIGH HERO was bumped by FLEETWAY in the opening strides, pressed the pace outside of POWER CRY, engaged to duel two wide from the seven sixteenths, led two wide near the five sixteenths, came three wide into the lane and was driven from upper stretch, proved no match for FORT RIDGE approaching the furlong mark and weakened. POWER CRY broke out and bumped FLEETWAY in the opening strides, was sent for speed, set the early pace while pressured, dueled inside of HIGH HERO from the seven sixteenths until being headed for good near five sixteenths, chased in range under a drive in upper stretch and emptied out in the final furlong.
