Chart notes

BIG INVASION travelled in midfield four wide down the back straight, rated smartly finding his stride through the turn, shifted out to the seven path at the top of the lane, found another gear under a vigorous ride closing in at the furlong marker and got up near the finish for a well timed stretch rally. LUCKY SCORE was void of early speed, stalking near the back in the three path in the beginning, saved ground unhurried at the back on the turn, began to pick up runners on the inside turning for home, burst between rivals two wide at the eighth pole and was full of run on the fence, just coming up short with a gritty stretch running performance. ICE CHOCOLAT (BRZ) settled in mid-pack three wide inside runners down the backside, was coaxed to keep up on the turn, began to rally between runners in the eight path in upper stretch and finished strongly in the late stages to get up and capture third in the end. DHABAB (IRE) was unhurried from the outside post, trailing down the backside, caught up to the field splitting runners at the three furlong marker, shifted to the outside with momentum turning for home, widest in the twelve path, was closing in with every stride through the stretch and just missed with a late surge coming to the wire. DREAM SHAKE settled on the rail near the rear down the back straight, made little impression travelling throughout the turn, angled out between runners in the eleven path driving to the wire, responded to right handed urging, gaining on the leaders down the lane and fell just short but was involved at the finish in a photo for the minors. ROCKCREST prompted three wide in the beginning, settled back to track in the second flight running three wide around the bend, loomed boldly in the four path driving to the finish, opened up mildly at the furlong marker and just tired in the shadow of the wire, losing many positions late in a very game hard fought loss. OCEANIC had a good position on the fence watching the quartet down the backside, saved ground keeping pace with others travelling in hand on the turn, loomed in the five path at the quarter pole, fought determinedly between foes through the stretch battling near the front and faded in deep stretch. WAR BOMBER (IRE) was checked between runners trying to get forwardly placed in the early part of the backstretch, shuffled back to stalk close to the rear at the half, improved four wide around horses running on the turn, could not quicken with closing rivals on either side in mid-stretch and levelled off running to the finish. MASEN (GB) emerged with a slim advantage up front down the back straight, inched away from the pressuring rival through the turn, relinquished the lead inside with three sixteenths remaining and tired in the three path in the last sixteenth of a mile. COUNTY FINAL had a good spot securing the rail watching the foursome contest in the early going, kept pace saving ground in mid-pack through the turn, could not offer a run when roused at the top of the lane and yielded between runners in mid-stretch. JAZZ HANDS broke in brushing rival at the start, was steadied in tight quarters at the five furlong marker, regrouped to track in the second flight on the rail throughout the turn, ran in the three path straightening out for the drive in range if good enough, could not find more in upper stretch and faltered with horses on each side with an eighth remaining. LAST AMERICAN EXIT stumbled on the break, stalked in the three path near the rear down the backside, made little headway running three wide through the turn, angled out to the twelve path at the top of the stretch and could not get involved shifting inwards down the lane to the wire. REMUDA was brushed outside to begin, forced the pace on the rail down the backstretch, could not match strides with the frontrunner midturn, began to give way on the fence at the top of the stretch and retreated on the rail at the furlong marker.
