Chart notes

BARBERINI, bumped at the start, was settled near the back while shifting outside foes entering the backstretch, advanced when called upon racing four wide into the far turn, continued in that path into upper stretch and prevailed in time under firm handling. VENEZUELAN TRIUMPH, reserved outside foes off the second flight racing to the backstretch, made a sharp advance to join the pacesetter three deep entering the far turn, pressed the issue in that path to gain a narrow advantage nearing upper stretch, drifted out entering the lane contesting the issue to late stages but couldn't contain the winner. GREAT BRITAIN attended a rival's pace under firm rating in the opening half, took over racing into the far turn, resisted when challenged nearing upper stretch but yielded to the top pair nearing the wire. AZURE SKY, reserved along the inside in the opening half, switched out to advance three wide nearing upper stretch but had no closing bid. ARTIE'S ANGEL, cut off at the start, was settled last to the backstretch, then tipped out entering the stretch to make some belated progress between foes. FAST PAYDAY veered in sharply at the start crossing over the path of ARTIE'S ANGEL while bumping the eventual winner, was collected to track off the second flight along the inside, then switched out entering the stretch to pass some tiring rivals. PANORAMA TRUCK tracked off the second flight outside foes in the opening half and faded racing through the far turn. ONE LUCKY DAY tracked the leaders outside a rival as part of the second flight and gave way racing into the far turn. ORIGO, reserved three deep between foes to the backstretch, was fanned five wide in upper stretch and proved no threat. SHIMMERING LEROID tracked just off the first flight along the inside and gave way racing into the far turn. SIR SAFFER was urged setting the pace on a narrow margin along the inside and gave way abruptly entering the far turn.
