Chart notes

UNICORN CAKE coaxed from the gate, chased five then four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive surging in the late stages to just get up in the final jump brushing with FOCUS POCUS, who came out in the late going and was up to score on the wire. FOCUS POCUS got bumped askew at the start by the veering in MISS MAXIMUS, vied from the three path early on among a quintet and then a trio before emerging with sole command tucked to the two path half a mile from home, showed the way patiently handled through the turn and was set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in under lone threat and came outwards to look her main danger in the eye brushing with that rival when getting nailed at the finish. EKWANOK coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside down the backstretch and then three to four wide through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, went five to six wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick to secure the show honors in the final jumps. CALL HER BLUFF chased five then four wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to secure the last major share. MISS MAXIMUS veered in at the start bumping FOCUS POCUS, vied early on before chasing three wide, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch, kept on to the finish but was outfinished in the late stages. MIDNIGHT CONCERTO got away to an awkward start and was a beat slower then the field, chased three then two wide detached at the tail of the field coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung five wide into upper stretch and rallied to close in late. STORMY DISCO chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three wide into upper stretch and weakened. REGENERATOR six paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung four to five wide into upper stretch and made no impact. MOON CHARIOT chased just off the inside under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch, made no impact. MY KINDA MISCHIEF vied from the two path early on before chasing along the inside, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, faltered.
