Chart notes

DIRECT LINE dueled for the lead from outside, took control in the middle stages, cleared inner rival on the far turn, asked right handed past the eight pole and inched away in deep stretch. GOOD JUJU dueled inside DIRECT LINE into the first turn then inched ahead around the bend, lost command on the backstretch but continued to fight on from inside, lost contact with DIRECT LINE midway around the far turn, churned on from inside into and down the lane and proved second best. ZIMBA WARRIOR stalked in the three path early, chased three deep on the far turn, kept trying down the lane to hold third but was unable to threaten the top pair. BIG BUZZ chased at the back on the inside into the first turn then shifted to the two path, raced four deep through the far turn and could not rally. SETTECENTO stalked next to the rail in the beginning, went two wide and between rivals on the far turn and failed to offer a bid.
