Chart notes

MONET NEVER (IRE) chased along the inside from mid pack, remained patiently handled spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, got roused straightened away, closed well through to the finish and was just up in the final jump to score. CITY FEVER was bumped at the start by TWO MINUTES APART due to pressure from AMERICAN KNOW HOW, chased three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung six wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive closing well outside, had AMERICAN KNOW HOW drift out a sixteenth out and was herded a path and just missed at the finish. AMERICAN KNOW HOW broke in at the start bumping METALLURGIC into TWO MINUTES APART through to CITY FEVER, chased four wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four to five wide into upper stretch, took command at the three-sixteenths, dug in under a drive drifting out a sixteenth out and herding CITY FEVER a path before being nailed by a pair in the final strides to the finish. CIGARETTE BOAT hustled from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside down the backstretch, floated to the two path at the seven-sixteenths forcing FLAT TOP BOX to steady at that station, remained just off the inside through to into upper stretch, was collared with three-sixteenths remaining, ran on through to the finish to preserve the last major share. BAIE LONGUE three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. PARTY WITH SMARTY steadied at the start when CITY FEVER came inwards due to a chain of bumping begun by AMERICAN KNOW HOW, chased three then four wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, angled five wide into upper stretch and improved position to the finish. BEER RUN chased along the inside under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, swung three wide into upper stretch, weakened. PAXSATIONAL broke in at the start bumping NICKEL NICKEL, chased two to three wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, angled five wide for home and offered no response. METALLURGIC was bumped at the start by AMERICAN KNOW HOW and in turn bumped TWO MINUTES APART into CITY FEVER, chased three wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, swung five wide for home and tired. NICKEL NICKEL got bumped at the start by PAXSATIONAL who broke inwards, chased just off the inside under coaxing from the three-eighths, spun two to three wide for home and tired. TWO MINUTES APART got bumped and pinched back at the start conceding four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased along the inside under coaxing from three furlongs out, swung four wide into upper stretch and made no impact. FLAT TOP BOX coaxed from the gate, raced forwardly placed just off the inside, got steadied when CIGARETTE BOAT floated directly in front to the two path with seven-sixteenths to go, lost about two lengths of ground as a result, swung four wide into upper stretch lightly and briefly urged, then was not persevered with and folded.
