Chart notes
LIBERAL (IRE) unhurried in the early stages, trailed two wide into the far turn, angled out into the stretch and rallied widest through the lane, closed fast and edged ENCODER for the victory. ENCODER settled outside a rival early, went four wide around the far turn, moved out and commenced a rally six wide, led briefly late but was bested by the winner. COUNT OF AMAZONIA (IRE) stalked three deep early, moved closer into the far turn then got shuffled at the three-eighths pole, spun three wide into the lane, tipped out in the stretch, rallied but got outclosed by the top pair. GROWTH ENGINE dueled for command from outside early then ceded control, stalked off the rail up the backstretch, challenged again at the seven-sixteenths pole, vied between rivals around the far turn, carried a short lead into the final furlong and yielded in deep stretch. BORDER TOWN got forced in and had to check early, pulled in the early going then rushed up from outside leaving the backstretch, vied three deep with a short lead on the far turn, fought into the final furlong and flattened late. MOODY JIM (IRE) broke in a bit, stalked the pace from inside, coaxed through the far turn, tipped out but found traffic in upper stretch, steered down to the inside and could not rally. EAST RAND forced to steady early, raced along the inside then tipped out into the stretch and failed to threaten. CAISSON came in and bothered a pair of rivals early, pulled between foes then got put in tight entering the far turn, chased two wide into the stretch and lacked a rally. SNIPER KITTEN dueled for command from inside into the first turn, took control around the bend then cleared early on the backstretch, challenged by rivals and lost command entering the far turn, fought back along the inside, stayed on to the eighth pole then weakened.
