Chart notes

NEUSCHWANSTEIN vied outside a pair three then four wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just outside the eighth pole, edged clear under a drive to prevail. AARAJ coaxed from the gate, vied inside among a trio, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in and ran on to secure the place honors. UNCLECHARLIESGIFT chased four then three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three to four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. ON THE LEDGE broke out at the start bumping ROYAL KING in tandem with MUAZARAH, vied two to three wide between foes coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, continued two to three wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared just outside the eighth pole, kept on to preserve the show honors. ROYAL KING got bumped between foes who each came his way and was forced to steady at the start conceding four to five lengths to the front, chased three to four wide coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, went seven wide into upper stretch and showed good courage to kick on belatedly to the finish. PASCHAL MOON coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch and improved position to the finish. XCELLENT MEN got bumped at the start by GIANT'S FIRE, chased five wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, tipped six to seven wide into upper stretch and weakened. BOOM BOOM THUNDER coaxed from the start, chased along the inside under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened. GIANT'S FIRE broke in at the start bumping XCELLENT MEN, chased six wide under coaxing from the three-eighths, went seven wide into upper stretch and tired. MUAZARAH bobbled at the break and recovered inwards into ROYAL KING, chased three wide and was forced to steady off the heels of NEUSCHWANSTEIN when that foe tucked in front five furlongs from home, tucked to the two path through the turn coming under coaxing three furlongs out, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and faltered in the drive.
