Chart notes

FOREVER SOUPER tracked the leaders through the turn, rallied four wide at the head of the lane and pulled clear down the stretch. HAPPYISASHAPPYDOES set a well rated pace, responded when challenged in the lane and was outkicked late in the stretch drive. ME AND MR. C reserved off the pace in mid-pack, rallied turning for home and finished well with a belated rally. OTAGO prompted the pace to the quarter pole and weakened coming home. MERLIN well placed three wide in striking distance to the top of the lane and lacked a closing bid. LORD EDDARD STARK saved ground along the fence to no avail. SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD trailed throughout as a non-factor.
