Chart notes

PLAY THE DOTS travelled three deep outside a runner in mid-pack in the beginning, began to pass rivals four deep outside at the half, circled around foes three wide throughout the far turn to lead in the three-path entering the stretch and continued to be strong in the lane to open up going away in the final furlong for the win. BIG SHOOTER prompted the pace outside in the first bend, shadowed the pacesetter outside down the backstretch, seized command between foes momentarily midway around the far turn, dueled inside for the lead until the eighth pole but was no match for the winner late. MODDASSAH was nestled on the rail behind the lead duo on the first turn, tracked the front pair but was now three deep on the outside through the back straight, kept up to the leaders while the pace quickened around the final turn, shifted out, four wide turning for home and kept closing in late to just miss getting up to capture second money. TRUE SHOT settled in midfield in the two path inside a challenger around the first turn, advanced between foes in the backstretch at the half, was nudged on the fence, sitting just behind the leader on the far turn, battled three wide for the show award in the stretch run but had to settle for a minor role in the end. WETIKO was a little erratic going six wide while tracking the leaders into the first turn, settled down to be three deep in mid-pack along the backside, closed the gap when roused midway on the far turn, shifted outside five wide by the quarter pole, pushed a couple of rivals out bursting through the seam in the seven path at the top of the lane and finished up willingly in the running to the finish line. SEATTLE STINGER hopped on the break to be ahead of only the other poor starter into the first turn, stalked on the fence near the rear making little improvement along the backside, was shuffled back to last with three furlongs to go, shifted out in the six path straightening for home but was one paced while not switching leads in the drive to the wire. REDNECK REBEL broke inwards and was slow into stride to trail in the early stages, made a brief rally, circling four wide around foes with three furlongs to go, was then bumped and floated out nine wide for the stretch drive and could not recoup to be a factor afterwards. BLUE MONTJEU bobbled on the break, settled near the back in the early stages of this route race, started to rally three wide between rivals at the three furlong pole, was bumped inside by a runner and was pushed out to the eight path between rivals turning for home and could not recover to be a presence in the drive to the wire. ASHUKA travelled on the fence in midfield in the early parts of the race, was going the wrong way while urged on the rail throughout the final bend, shifted just outside in the stretch run and came on late to pass the early frontrunner at the sixteenth pole. VINI VIDI VICI broke sharp to have command on the rail in the first turn, set the pace while shadowed outside down the backstretch, relinquished the lead with no resistance on the fence midway on the final turn and folded on the fence by mid-stretch.
