Chart notes

BROOKLYN DIAMONDS chased two to three wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung four wide into upper stretch taking over command, went clear under a drive to prevail. UNION LIGHTS broke out a step at the start brushing CHEEKY TICO, chased three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, proved no match for the top one while along clear of the rest and second best. CHEEKY TICO got brushed at the start by the aforementioned foe, chased along the inside and then just off the inside coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and improved position to be along for the show honors. KING OF CHAOS showed the way in hand along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, yielded the front and took the inside route into upper stretch, weakened in the drive. BLU GROTTO a bit fractious in the gate prior to the start, broke towards the front and then faded quickly when striding short and sluggish early on, grew detached at at the tail of the field seven to eight paths off the inside, tucked over to the rail midway down the backstretch and continued along the inside through the turn, cornered two to three wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals to the finish. CUMBERLAND BLUES broke a beat slow, chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked five wide into the turn and took the overland route through the bend coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, went seven wide into upper stretch and made no impact. BERT BERT BERT hustled from the gate, chased three to four wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, swung six wide into upper stretch, made no impact. PRINCE OF JOY chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, faltered.
