Chart notes

STRIKING OIL set the pressured pace from inside, then drew clear entering the stretch and held on the prevail under a gamely hand drive. MAD GOLD chased the pace from the outside, then swung out five wide at the top of the stretch, was closing well to prove second best. BOLD EXCAPER settled along the rail, then continued to bid around the turn, split rivals mid stretch and closed willingly in the end. BEHIND THE CURTAIN stalked the pace while three wide going into the turn made a bid but gave way in late stretch. ELTONSINGSTHEBLUES pressed the leader while two wide, was in a hard drive on the turn then tired in late stretch. DOCTOR DO LITTLE raced while two wide, then checked and steadied in late backstretch, then made a two wide bid on the turn but was no menace. APPRECIABLE chased the leader while three wide, then veered in toward the rail, made a bid then faded. There was a STEWARDS INQUIRY in regarding the run down on the backstretch. After reviewing the replay, no action was taken.
