Chart notes

NEVER CHANGE coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside from just off the pace, came under coaxing three wide at the seven-sixteenths and floated four wide midway on the turn, cornered four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive steadily gaining in tandem with NORTH POLE to issue a challenge inside the final sixteenth and was just up in the very last jump to the wire. PSYCHIC INCOME established the front and showed the way in hand just off the inside patiently handled until set down continuing in the two path into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in growing leg weary under late threat from a pair and was nailed on the line. NORTH POLE three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive closing in concert with NEVER CHANGE through the final sixteenth and missed at the end. MISTICAL CURLIN reluctant to load prior to the start, chased four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled in near the five-sixteenths to rail and took the inside route into upper stretch, then stayed on one paced to the finish. READYSEEKGO stumbled at the start, showed the way early on along the inside before being headed for the front six furlongs out by PSYCHIC INCOME, settled along the inside tracking that rival in closest aim, came under coaxing near the seven-sixteenths, faded through the turn and angled four wide into upper stretch, then tired in the drive. KNOT THE ONE coaxed from the start, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, swung four wide for home and made no impact. FIERY HEART coaxed from the gate, chased two to three wide until tucked inside at the nine-sixteenths, came under coaxing with seven-sixteenths to go, swung three wide at the head of the stretch and was eased home to the end.
