Chart notes

DURANTE lunged at the break, quickly advanced to take over the front, showed the way in hand four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path through the turn, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and was let out straightened away, drew off under a drive to prevail. VITTORIO got bumped at the start by TOPS THE CHART due to pressure from SHIVAREE, chased just off the inside until tucked inside into the turn, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled three wide for home, proved no match for the top one while running on to secure the place honors. CASTLE CHAOS got bumped at the start by JAKE ROCKS, who broke inwards, chased three then two wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to secure the show honors. EMERALD FOREST chased three to four wide until tucked to the two path through the turn, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled four to five wide into upper stretch and improved position to the finish. SEVEN NATION ARMY chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch and weakened. TOPS THE CHART broke open the stall door prior to the start just after TWENTY FOUR MAMBA grew fractious, got bumped at the start by SHIVAREE and in turn bumped VITTORIO, chased three then two wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, spun two to three wide for home and weakened. JAKE ROCKS broke in at the start bumping CASTLE CHAOS, chased along the inside coming under coaxing three furlongs from home, swung three wide at the head of the stretch and weakened. TWENTY FOUR MAMBA grew fractious in the gate inspiring TOPS THE CHART to break open his stall door, chased along the inside until tipped to the two path half a mile from home, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled out six wide into upper stretch and made no impact. KING ANGELO chased five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and tired. SHIVAREE broke in at the start bumping TOPS THE CHART into VITTORIO, chased seven paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn coaxed along from midway, went six to seven wide into upper stretch and made no impact.
