Chart notes

FUN LOVIN CRIMINAL , three wide the first turn, rated back off of an outer rival leaving the seven eighths, angled out a path then edged up four wide past the five eighths, joined the pace fray three deep into the far turn, moved to a slim lead outside SOUTHERN DISTRICT while dueling past the five sixteenths, carried that scrum into the lane, kicked clear under a drive heading to the furlong grounds then steadily widened through the final sixteenth. SOUTHERN DISTRICT broke slowly, recovered and was sent up four wide outside foes around the first turn, prompted the pace three wide and outside MIDNIGHT CAT, gained a slim lead between runners around the far turn, emerged in a duel to the inside of the winner past the three eighths, was under strong handling to maintain position into the stretch, failed to match strides inside the three sixteenths but stayed on well to be well clear for the place. BOBBY G saved ground while edging up to be close past the five eighths, failed to quicken with the leaders while under a ride leaving the far turn, swung out to be about six wide in upper stretch then churned on to gain the show. STRONG FINISH , with the pace two wide outside the leader nearing the seven eighths, rated back off foes soon into the backstretch, was put to a ride as the leaders got away exiting the far turn, shifted out some but lacked a serious finish. MIDNIGHT CAT broke on top despite a slight hop, set a pressured pace towards the rail, could not go with the top pair as they left the three eighths, chased to mid stretch and faded. AMPERSAND dwelt at the break spotting the field a lengthy advantage, raced about three wide through the backstretch run and failed to get involved.
