Chart notes

ROYAL POPPY established the front and showed the way in hand just off the inside until tucked inside through the turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole before being set down taking the inside route into upper stretch, then drew off under a drive to prevail. LIAM'S CHAMP coaxed from the gate, chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, continued three wide for home, proved no match for the top one while keeping on to secure the place honors. RISK FREE broke out at the start bumping BALPOOL, chased along the inside under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and stayed on one paced to the finish. BALPOOL a bit fractious prior to the start, got bumped at the start by RISK FREE, who broke outwards, chased three to four wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, angled six wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild bid. LIGHTBULB MOMENT chased three to four wide until tucked to the two path through the turn, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, went seven wide into upper stretch and offered no response. SHIRL'S DELIGHT chased just off the inside down the backstretch and then three to four wide through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, cornered four wide into upper stretch and weakened. SEAWITCH chased just off the inside under a ride from the three-eighths, angled four wide into upper stretch, made no impact. PROMISEHER AMERICA chased five to six wide under coaxing from three furlongs out, went six wide into upper stretch and tired. PARDON MOI coaxed from the gate, showed brief speed three wide down the backstretch, tucked to the two path through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, faded, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and folded.
