Chart notes

ARTEMUS CITYLIMITS hustled from the gate to the front in the first jumps, briefly lost command before taking back over, showed the way in hand just off the inside patiently handled until set down spinning three then two wide into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in under some late threat and held safe to prevail. BIG PACKAGE hustled from the start, chased just off the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole before being let out swinging four wide into upper stretch, closed well to tepidly threaten inside the final sixteenth but was ultimately staved off. SMOOTH B hustled from the gate, led briefly in the very early stages before chasing along the inside lightly coaxed from the get go, spun just off the inside into upper stretch. tipped to the three path near the three-sixteenths and weakened in the late stages while along for the show honors clear of the rest. PRINCIPLED STAND (GB) chased just off the inside from just off the pace under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, went three wide at the head of the stretch, weakened in the drive. IT'S A GAMBLE saved ground in pursuit from the rear of the field coaxed along with three furlongs remaining, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, trailed throughout.
