Chart notes

FOR A LAUGH (IRE) stalked along the rail, tipped out into the lane, drew alongside GIOVINAZZO with a furlong remaining and proved best late. GIOVINAZZO showed early speed from inside, set all the pace to the stretch, challenged at the eighth pole, resisted into deep stretch and yielded late. FLAVIUS tracked two to the far turn, tipped three wide at the quarter pole, chased within striking range with a furlong remaining, faltered in the late stages but managed to edge INDIAN PEAK for third. INDIAN PEAK settled inside at the back, shifted to the two path on the far turn but lacked room at the quarter pole and altered back to the fence, put in a rail bid with a furlong remaining but flattened out. ORIGINAL broke well, raced up close in the two path, ridden along on the far turn, started to lose ground past the quarter pole and tired.
