Chart notes

TALKING WONDERS stalked at the back having one beat down the backstretch, started to commence a run three wide between horses at the quarter pole, swung widest in the six path gaining on foes at the top of the lane and won the battle down the entire stretch to just prevail in photo at the wire from the inside challenger. WHERE'S SAMNBAILEY had a good spot nestled inside behind the contesting three at the half, edged closer to the leaders at the quarter pole, angled outside with run in the five path straightening out for the drive and never quit to the wire just missing between horses in a gutsy stretch effort. CRIMSON NIGHTS pressed the pace between foes in the early going, assumed command while hounded outside by runners throughout the turn, put away the early speed rivals turning for home, braced for the closers in upper stretch, was still clinging to the lead on the fence at the sixteenth pole and faded very late holding clearly for third in a hard fought front running try. DADDY'S DAISY tracked the front trio four wide down the back straight, prompted the issue three wide running around the turn, was in the mix four wide driving to the finish line and evened out in the final furlong for a minor role in the end. WAR VOW was allowed to settle trailing down the back straight, began to pick up runners outside with two furlongs remaining and showed late interest offering a good closing kick to the finish line. SHAMELESS AFFAIR was brushed by the outside foe on the break, prompted three wide down the backside, pressed for the lead with rivals on each side running around the bend, was still in the thick of things battling up front in the three path at the top of the stretch, could not find more and faded at the furlong pole. TAPPING A RHYTHM seized command inside from the start, gave way up front with seven sixteenths from home, kept pace with runners travelling on the inside through the turn, was checked in tight quarters on the fence at the furlong marker and could not regroup in time time to be involved at the finish. STANDING STRONG broke inwards at the start, stalked near the rear on the inside, saved ground but made little impact around the turn and could only pass a straggler turning for home. NEOLITHIC NATION travelled all alone in midfield down the backside, made a brief run three wide from the three eighths pole to the quarter marker, emptied out turning for home and was eased up when crossing the finish line.
