Chart notes

SIR ATTICUS broke a step slow, raced up close early then stalked three wide into the turn, bid three deep around the bend, took over into the lane, cleared in upper stretch under left-handed urging and held safely under steady handling. ELWOOD BLUES chased between foes into the turn, rounded the bend two to three wide, finished willingly but had to settle for second best. MIDNIGHT FURY dueled for command from inside, was overtaken into the lane and flattened to third. CAPTAIN CHOOCHIES was off slow in the beginning, chased from off the pace two wide through the turn, kept on through the drive and improved position. MOHAWK SUN broke in and bumped rival, stalked along the rail, tipped two wide past the quarter pole, drifted in to brush rival in upper stretch, drifted a bit more past the eighth pole and leveled off. THE GIANTS CANDY dueled for command from inside, lost touch with outer rival past the quarter pole, brushed and crowded by MOHAWK SUN in the lane and weakened in the late stages. BROADWAY UNIONS took a bump at the start, settled inside, angled out and moved closer around the bend, came four wide into the drive and could not summon the needed rally. SARGENT LEE was off alertly from outside and elected to stay towards the outside rail up the backstretch while dropped back off the pace, angled exiting the backstretch and went six wide into the turn, remained very wide to the stretch and failed to respond in the lane. EXTORTION up close early then stalked four deep into the turn, came six to seven wide into the lane and weakened. FIFTH STREET was off slow to begin, chased four wide into the turn, six wide into the lane and failed to menace. CONQUERING KING tracked three wide into the turn, eased further out and came five wide into the drive and weakened. JOHNNY DRAMA broke slow, trailed three wide into the turn, exited the bend seven wide and made no impact.
