Chart notes

SHOWCASE bobbled at the break, chased four then three wide advancing under coaxing near the quarter pole to take command, swung six then five wide straightened away into upper stretch, drew clear under a drive to prevail. PROTECTED shied in at the start forcing CYCLONE STATE to steady off his heels, showed the way in hand just off the inside coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, yielded the front and swung three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive no match for the top one while keeping on to just preserve the place honors on the wire. TIZ FREEDOM struck the near side stall at the start, then got bumped by CYCLONE STATE and conceded about two lengths to the front, chased along the inside and then just off the inside coming under coaxing near the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch, kept on under a drive and just missed for the place honors. CYCLONE STATE broke inwards brushing the near side stall and then bumping TIZ FREEDOM before being forced to steady off the heels of PROTECTED who shied inwards directly in front, conceded four to five lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased five the four wide offering up a bid five-sixteenths from home, angled seven wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. JERRY'S OUT coaxed from the gate, chased two to three wide, came under coaxing at the three-eighths and strode greenly taking an awkward stride near the five-sixteenths, had the rider eased off and went four wide for home, received some taps to the right shoulder through the stretch and leveled out late to make some ground and trailed.
