Chart notes

DONTLOOKBACKATALL coaxed from the gate, chased three then two wide until tucked to the inside near the three-eighths marker forcing KERRY to take hold in behind, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and angled five wide into upper stretch, had to alter out a path when RUN FOR THE HILLS tipped out in front at the three-sixteenths, got roused when altered to the six path and offered up a good finish to close stoutly outside the leader, the rider hitting the crop from the hands of FUTURE IS NOW's rider seventy yards from home when crossing crops and was up in the final jumps to score. DANSE MACABRE brushed the near side stall at the start and came under coaxing to chase just off the inside down the backstretch and then along the inside through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung four wide into upper stretch, angled in to the rail a furlong out, rallied up the inside and was in a bit tight along the temporary rail when SECRET MONEY attempted to split foes between a tight seam, seized narrow and brief command seventy yards from the finish, then got nailed in the very last jumps. FUTURE IS NOW hustled from the gate, vied inside a pair from the get go through swift splits coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, got set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under a drive inching away to the eighth pole bracing for flanking challenges from a host of pursuers, dug in under a right handed crop confronted and had the rider get his crop knocked from his hand to the outside by the rider of DONTLOOKBACKATALL when crossing crops seventy yards from home just as DANSE MACABRE took over command to her inside up the rail, fought on to the finish to preserve the show honors on the line. SECRET MONEY coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled out five wide into upper stretch, rallied looking for a seam and angled in to the two path a furlong out, was in tight with DANSE MACABRE to her inside a sixteenth from home, battled on to the finish and missed at the end. ZEITLOS traded a bump at the start with STAR GUEST, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, went seven wide into upper stretch, closed well outside to the finish but was outfinished to the wire. STAR GUEST (GB) traded a bump at the start with the aforementioned foe, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing nearing the quarter pole, got let out spinning six to seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick but was outkicked. FREEDOM SPEAKS coaxed from the start, chased just off the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid but was outkicked to the finish. KAUFYMAKER coaxed from the gate, vied from the two path between foes under coaxing from the three-eighths through swift splits, swung three wide into upper stretch, got shaken off a furlong out and weakened to the finish backing out carefully among a host of rivals stacked across the track. RUN FOR THE HILLS bobbled at the break and came under coaxing to vie three wide outside a pair, came under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, swung four to five wide into upper stretch, tipped out at the three-sixteenths forcing DONTLOOKBACKATALL to alter out a path, then backed out carefully weakening between rivals to the finish. KERRY hustled from the start, chased along the inside, got steadied when DONTLOOKBACKATALL tucked inside in front near the three-eighths marker, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and tired.
