Chart notes

CHA was urged clear in the opening stages shifting well off the rail, held sway on a clear margin racing into upper stretch and responded to firm handling to hold safe the challenge of MILLIGANMIKEANDME to the end. The latter tracked the pacesetter inside foes from just out of striking distance racing to the turn, saved ground to upper stretch and continued willingly along the rail to challenge inside the winner nearing the wire while always second best. SPEEDY ENOUGH broke outwards bumping IMPULSUS, was taken in hand dropping off the pacesetter in the opening sixteenth, came under stout pressure shifting out three wide to advance on the leaders racing into the bend, continued in the four path through the stretch and finished evenly to prevail for a share. BRAHMS IS WHO tracked the leaders five wide on the backstretch, exchanged some light contact with IMPULSUS racing past the half mile marker, angled inwards to the three path entering the stretch but had no closing bid. IMPULSUS, bumped soundly at the start, was righted to track the leaders four wide between foes, exchanged light contact nearing the turn, angled to the inside racing into the stretch but had no late response. REESE C angled inwards while being prompted in pursuit of the pacesetter racing to the turn but emptied out early.
