Chart notes

SOLO ANIMO got bumped at the start, checked between foes early, went four then three wide on the first turn, bid four wide into the stretch, bid three deep with a furlong to go, dueled with NERVES OF STEEL late and was all out to prevail. NERVES OF STEEL chased four then three wide on the first turn, pressed the pace three deep in the middle stages, drifted inward in upper stretch, bid between rivals with a furlong remaining, dueled with SOLO ANIMO in the late stages and missed. SECRET CLUB bumped with rival entering the first turn, settled off the rail then three deep on the backstretch, came three to four wide into the stretch and got up for the show. LA LA LAND (IRE) got brushed and crowded at the start, went three then two wide on the clubhouse turn, raced in mid-pack between rivals on the backstretch then moved inside, saved ground to the lane then angled out in the stretch and finished willingly. ABSOLUTE UNIT rated in the two path then moved inside, went between runners on the backstretch, waited for room in upper stretch, then found a clear path and finished with late effort. IMPOSSIBLE TASK sped to the front and moved inside, showed the way with a pair of rivals to the outside in the middle stages, cleared into the stretch but yielded in the late stages. FOOTHILL pulled in the early stages while trying to be rated on the inside the inside, saved ground to the stretch and weakened. BEE CATCHER got bumped and pinched along the inside, forcing the rider to check into the first turn, angled five wide into the lane and failed to menace. WILLY THE COBBLER was off slow to start, forced out by rival early on the first turn, angled six wide into the lane and was not a factor. LIAR LIAR (IRE) bumped leaving the gate, stalked three deep then angled five wide into the lane and weakened. OTTAWA FIRE (IRE) showed early speed three then two wide on the first turn, applied pressure from between runners, lost contact with the leader leaving the far turn, lost his path in upper stretch and faded.
