Chart notes

CHESS MASTER chased along the inside in aim of the leader, angled four wide into upper stretch and got let out straightened away, dug in under a drive issuing a challenge a sixteenth out and was up in the final jumps to prevail. CHUCK WILLIS (IRE) hustled from the gate, prompted the pace of LYRICAL POET from the two path getting roused taking the two path into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and was up for the place honors in the final strides. LYRICAL POET away well and to the front, showed the way lightly coaxed along the inside through swift splits and under some pressure from CHUCK WILLIS to the outside, took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under a drive clinging to command until headed by the top pair in the final jumps to the wire. BRAZILLIONAIRE chased two to three wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, angled seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. SEVEN SCENTS got brushed at the start, chased just off the inside under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, went seven to eight wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild bid. ME 'N SAP coaxed from the start, chased three then two wide, angled five wide into upper stretch roused for the stretch drive, made no impact. AFTER FIVE coaxed from the gate, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, came up empty.
