Chart notes

CRUPI got bumped between foes at the start, went three then two wide through the first turn, tracked just off the inside in range of the leader settled in the one and one, came under pair of right handed taps from the crop with nine-sixteenths to go, then came under urging at the half mile pole and bid latching on the leader to duel through the turn taking over narrow command just outside the quarter pole, swung three wide into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive kept to task. ROYAL SPIRIT broke out at the start bumping CRUPI in tandem with PADDINGTON, tracked the pace along the inside, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths when CRUPI advanced outside to engage the leader, angled out five wide into upper stretch, kept on under a drive to secure the place honors. PADDINGTON broke in at the start bumping CRUPI in concert with ROYAL SPIRIT, came under coaxing and established the front shortly after, showed the way in hand just off the inside until tucked along the inside into the backstretch, remained on hold through sensible splits, had the eventual winner range up outside just inside the half mile pole and was put to pressure under challenge for the front coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths and then a drive with three furlongs to go, matched strides until headed just outside the quarter pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, then gave way and was eased home through the final furlong.
