Chart notes

FLASH BAK away cleanly, midpack early with EMPRESSUM, asked right handed to pass EMPRESSUM passing the gap, asked again midway, responded well and started to pull away in the final sixteenth in a convincing win. EMPRESSUM brushed with outside rival at the start, away well enough, asked right handed early, asked again midway, drifted out a path and finished well enough to be second best. A TRES OF EAGLE away midpack, asked right handed early, in range and kept to a drive to the wire to win a photo for third. JERIKO away in the rear of the field, kept his path, asked right handed and finished well to lose a photo for third. TAKE A SWIG OF THIS away well, mild drifting early, kept under a hand drive most of the way, lugged out three lanes late while being outfinished. SHOTT GUN away second best, asked right handed early, put in tight passing the sixteenth and weakened. APOLLITICAL PENCE away super, briefly cleared, lugged in when asked right handed, and lost his hind end, lost all momentum and kept on gamely to the wire . HOOKED N GONE brushed outside part of the gate, came out two paths, asked right handed early, bobbled and just never looked comfortable while never getting on track. SCOOPS DYNASTY was fidgety in the gate, reared and came away slowly to lose all chance WHISKEY CREEK broke in, and brushed with EMPRESSUM, asked left handed early, and started to lean out into SHOTT GUNS PATH, lost his path and kept under a light ride to the wire.
