Chart notes
PATCHES O'HOULIHAN broke outwards on the start, was hustled to take command into the backstretch on the rail, set the fractions inside on the turn, was collared outside at the quarter pole, dug in to spurt away for a clear lead again by upper stretch and was kept to the task to the wire to hold off the closing rival by a diminishing margin in the end. PLAYMEA TUNE travelled on the outside in mid-division along the backstretch, began to lengthen his stride, measuring the contesting duo with two furlongs left to run, angled out five wide for the drive, drifted in when set down at the furlong marker, had to be taken hold of briefly to stay straight, was closing smartly late but just could not get there in time. I'M A GAMBLER (IRE) stalked between horses ahead of only one runner in the back straight, rated kindly between rivals watching the engaged twosome at the quarter pole, shifted out to the three path to be in the hunt straightening out for home, drifted out under left handed encouragement with a sixteenth left to run and while not switching leads in the lane, battled for the top three placings late but settled for third money at the finish line. FIRST EMPIRE was content to track just outside off the pacesetter, edged closer throughout the turn, turned up the pressure to bid for the lead with a quarter mile remaining, was repelled by the winner in upper stretch, then was brushed outside when in tight between foes at the sixteenth pole and faded late to settle for a minor role. IRONSTONE was allowed to settle at the back of the pack in the early stages, shifted outside in the three-path trying to commence a rally at the quarter pole, angled out for clear run in the five-path turning for home but lacked a late kick in the stretch running and could not be a factor. BORDER TOWN was pushed out on the break, settled on the rail in midfield along the backside, could not keep up with others who where making a move outside at the quarter pole and had little presence in the stretch drive.
