Chart notes

CATCHING CUPID disputed the pace on the inside of a foe, vied in the two path around the turn, shook clear in the three path into upper stretch, extended the advantage into the final furlong and drew off under a moderate hand-ride to win ridden out. VIOLENT ROCK broke out then was corrected by the rider, was rated just off the pace, came under urging while saving ground on the turn, turned into the stretch in the two path and won a head-bob for the place while no match for the winner. HANG TIGHT broke out at the start, was hard ridden towards the rear, saved ground on the turn and improved position to just get the show while out-nodded for the place. NICHOLAS JAMES bobbled at the start then was bumped and forced out, raced outside under coaxing, chased four wide on the turn, came five wide into the stretch and missed the trifecta while getting the last spot in the superfecta. ACHILLES HEEL was rated just off the pace, came under urging in the three path around the turn and failed to rally. BALI'S SHADE broke out and bumped with a foe, disputed the pace on the outside of a rival, vied in the three path while continuing outside that foe around the turn, dropped back in the four path into upper stretch and tired. GHOSTLYPRINCE stumbled badly at the start and was off slow, spotted the front several lengths, angled in at the rear, was urged two to three wide around the turn, swung six wide into the stretch and failed to threaten.
