Chart notes

HOCKEY took command inside at the start, bunched up the field setting a modest pace at the half, had a slim advantage on the far turning while slowing the pace down and had more in reserve turning for home to spurt away clear under a well rationed front end victory. VUCCHELLA was nestled behind the winner throughout, kept a close eye down the backstretch sitting behind the pace rating kindly, waited to pounce inside on the far turn, shifted out to the three path having clear run on the leader but could not reel in the winner late holding for second at the line. MY GIRL DELLA stalked near the rear on the rail, crept closer to the field at the half inside, roused saving ground improving through the far turn, slipped up the fence for the stretch run and closed belatedly just missing getting up for place at the wire. LUNCH WITH BERNIE travelled in the middle of the pack three wide into the first turn, settled into stride four deep outside rivals down the back straight, rallied around horses four wide through the final turn, angled out widest in the seven path at the top of the lane and put in a strong finish reaching for ground gaining with each stride down the stretch. SACCHARINE brushed the gate to begin, settled in midfield on the rail down the backstretch, was asked to go finally finding a seam two wide midpoint on the far turn, offered a brief rally and levelled off in mid stretch. VICTORIOUS NYQUIST veered in badly at the start, trailing in the early stages, caught up to the field by the final quarter, angled out for run six wide for the drive and finished up mildly running to the wire. TWISTING PISTONS stumbled at the start, recovered to press two wide between foes on the first turn, chased the pacesetting winner down the backside through to the far turn but could not find more and weakened in the four path in upper stretch. MAGIC TOKEN prompted the pace three wide into the first turn, continued three deep watching the frontrunning down the backside, began to give way under a drive three wide midway on the far turn and retreated in the six path at the top of the stretch.
