Chart notes
HERO STATUS brushed lightly with inner rival at the start, was closest in pursuit along the three path early, bid outside the leader at the five-sixteenths pole, headed rival at the quarter pole, took over shortly after, cleared at the top of the stretch and drew off under a crack of left-handed urging and coasted in late. PIROLI broke inward from the inside, settled off the pace, was caught behind a wall of rivals on the far turn, steered out and came five wide into the stretch and rallied to catch ENCODE for second. ENCODE sped to the front in the two path, fought with HERO STATUS on the far turn and gave up control past the quarter pole, lost touch with that rival at the top of the stretch, churned on through the lane and lost the place. WESTERN CAPE stalked the pace on the inside, pressed upon on the far turn and exited that bend two wide and lacked a rally. PALAGIO was off slow to begin, tracked off the rail through the early stages, was on the moved four wide outside rivals on the second bend but flattened out in the furlong grounds. MAGNIFICENT was off a bit slow to begin, tracked four wide around the first turn, three deep on the second bend and weakened. AMERICAN REFUGEE taken back early, traveled in the two path early on, entered the lane three wide and came up empty. NAUGHTY NIKO broke out and brushed lightly with the winner, became rank chasing off the rail on the clubhouse turn, tracked between foes in the middle stages, lost ground and angled to the inside late on the far turn and weakened.
