Chart notes

GOLDEN ALCHEMIST coaxed from the gate, chased two then three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, advanced and swung four wide into upper stretch and was on his wrong lead brushing with SIDEKICK straightened away, got shown and tapped to the left side and switched leads when taking command just outside the eighth pole, then edged clear to the finish to prevail. SIDEKICK five then four wide through the first turn, settled four then three wide just off the duel before advancing into the far turn to take over command at the seven-sixteenths, shook away briefly before coming under threat swinging three wide into upper stretch, got brushed straightened away by GOLDEN ALCHEMIST, dug in and was collared a furlong out and ran on well clear of the rest to be along second best. BOLD LOOKER two to three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing three furlongs from home, angled out five wide into upper stretch and kept on to secure the show honors while never threatening the top pair. GATE RUNNER coaxed from the start, raced three wide through the opening bend before tipping five then four wide in pursuit down the backstretch, went four wide through the far turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled six wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. CHEEKY TICO coaxed from the gate, raced four then three wide through the first turn dueling with INTERNAL CAPITAL to his inside, settled three wide down the backstretch briefly before tucking to the two path while knocking heads, came under briefly coaxing into the far turn and was overtaken in tandem with his main pace rival with seven-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, folded, and was eased home to the finish. INTERNAL CAPITAL coaxed from the start, dueled inside of CHEEKY TICO from the get go coming under light coaxing half a mile from home while clinging to a narrow advantage, got displaced from command in concert with his main pace foe at the seven-sixteenths, cut the corner into upper stretch, faltered and was eased to the wire.
