Chart notes

FRIED ASPARAGUS broke well and vied for the early lead outside of SHE'S SO SHINY, then floated a bit wide on the clubhouse turn and was content to stalk just off the flank of that rival to the far turn, took command passing the three furlong marker and won clear while under a drive to the line. SHE'S SO SHINY broke well and seized the lead and the rail, was allowed to set reasonable fractions while under a snug hold from the rider, tried to slip away with three furlongs to run but could not hold off the challenge of FRIED ASPARAGUS, kept on under steady handling and held well in the end for second. DOWNBURST was unhurried early tracking well behind the top pair, came under a drive from the three furlong pole, mounted a four wide rally into the stretch, closed well in the drive and missed for second, while holding clearly for third. TEN THE SMART WAY lunged at the start and was off slowly, rushed up into the first turn and stalked the decent pace from a two wide path into the backstretch, chased the leading pair into the far turn, raced three wide into stretch, lost ground at the furlong marker and tired in the final stages. SMOKEMS TAPHOUSE unhurried in the early stages, trailed to the far turn, rallied in the final furlong but failed to make an impact.
