Chart notes

SCUTTLEBUZZ chased along the inside until tipped to the two path placed to coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, closed well and was up in the final forty yards to the finish loosely between foes to prevail. CHESS MASTER prompted the pace of THREE ZERO from the outside in the two path, got set down spinning three wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command near the eighth pole, dug in under threat and was caught in the final forty yards to the finish. HIGH FRONT a bit fractious in the gate prior to the start, brushed the near side stall at the start, chased four then three wide before briefly tucking to the two path and then along the inside into the turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and was set down angled five wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid. RITHM NIC chased two to three wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, went six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid but was outkicked. THREE ZERO coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside under some pressure from CHESS MASTER to the outside, got roused taking the inside route into upper stretch, dug in and was collared nearing the eighth pole, then weakened through to the finish. NOLO CONTESTO crossed to the two path after the start and chased along the inside and then just off the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went six wide into upper stretch, offered no response. HE'S GOT IT a bit fractious in the gate prior to the start, chased three then two wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened. ME 'N SAP tossed his head just as the latch was sprung and got away awkwardly and last and conceded four lengths to the front, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and made no impact. HEAVEN STREET chased two to three wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole before being let out swinging four wide into upper stretch, tired in the drive and had the rider lose the handle on the crop from his right hand just before crossing the finish line.
