Chart notes

PACO'S PICO was prompted out of the gate and held a slim lead over CELESTIAL GLAZE, repelled bid midway through the turn, came two to three wide into the upper stretch, drew off under a drive and maintained a safe advantage while ridden out in final stages. BATTER UP BUD steadied along the rail and lost all momentum mid-way through the backstretch, angled out entering the turn, swung wide into the upper stretch, finished with response and cleared second best. REDDINGTON bumped between foes at the start and just after, chased in close contention around the turn, sustained an inside bid through the lane and held show. SENSUAL CHOCOLATE was off slow at the start and raced in the last flight, was ridden along three wide into the lane, gained closer contention and narrowly missed show. ISTHMIAN raced five wide in the back, came three wide into the lane, finished with interest and improved position. SMOKIN BOW shifted out mid-way through the backstretch, gained three to four wide around the turn then flattened out in the lane. MITICO raced five wide off the early pace, chased four wide around the turn then ran on evenly through the lane. SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD showed response in the opening quarter then steadily weakened. CELESTIAL GLAZE broke in and bumped at the start, vied outside of the winner through early stages, could not move on with rival mid-way through the turn and faded in the lane. LORD JAXSTON angled inside just after the start, was ridden along the rail entering the lane and offered no late bid. AWKWARD PAUSE chased up close through early stages, flattened out around the turn and continued to tire in the drive.
