Chart notes

DESCARTES was shuffled leaving the break and spotted the field early on, chased from the rear to the turn, saved ground through the bend, was roused three wide at the top of the stretch, closed fast in mid-stretch, overtook LIGHTINTHEDARKNESS in the late stages and drew clear in the end. LIGHTINTHEDARKNESS broke alertly and showed early speed to get to the front, was pressed to the turn, shook free and drew to a clear lead approaching the top of the lane, felt pressure from the winner in mid-stretch, was overtaken by DESCARTES in the late stages and held well in the end to be best of the rest. MEET THE SHERIFF took back off of the fast early pace, gained ground two wide on the turn, continued that advance into upper stretch, could not match strides with the top pair in the drive and was outkicked, while holding safely for third. MORE BUBBLY settled off of the fast early pace, lost ground three wide on the turn, dropped back in upper stretch and did not produce a late rally. LOVE MY JIMMY showed early speed and pressed the pace to the turn, steadied in tight quarters leaving the three-furlong marker and lost position nearing the top of the lane, chased the leaders into the drive and faded in the final stages.
