Chart notes

HILARIOUS AFFAIR broke a step slow, moved up on the outside under urging, went three wide on the turn, rallied four wide into the stretch, closed strongly to make a bid into the final furlong then drew clear under strong handling. PLAYGROUND LEGEND bumped soundly with a rival at the start, settled towards the rear, raced inside to the two path on the turn, swung five wide into upper stretch and improved to get the place. FEATHERS ROAD was reserved off the pace, went two then three wide while roused on the turn, came four wide into the stretch and improved for the show. MY LIFE STORY veered out at the start, chased the pace on the outside, tucked from the three path to the two path early on the turn, shifted three wide into the stretch then moved closer, chased the leaders into the final furlong and weakened. KREESA settled near the middle of the field, was roused in the two path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, moved out near the sixteenth-pole and lacked the needed kick. FAUCI angled in early, raced well off the pace, went four wide on the turn, came six wide into upper stretch and failed to threaten. AIR INVASION brushed with a rival at the start, was well placed towards the front, chased inside on the turn, moved out while getting closer in upper stretch, pursued the leaders into the final furlong and tired. KING MOONRACER settled under some urging, moved in leaving the backstretch, rounded the turn in the two path, turned into upper stretch under a drive, dropped to the rail late and lacked the needed response. CADAMOSTO (IRE) went to the front, showed the way under pressure to his outside, vied along the rail on the turn, lost the lead outside the five-sixteenths pole and gave way. JAVA BUZZ bumped soundly with a foe at the start, pressed the pace on the outside, vied in the three path on the turn, took the lead outside the five-sixteenths pole, led under a drive into the final furlong then was overtaken and also tired. NEUSCHWANSTEIN brushed with an opponent at the start, settled off the pace, saved ground on the turn, came out into the stretch and failed to respond. IMAGE OF QUALITY ducked in after the start, raced at the rear, went around the turn in the three path, came out to the five path into upper stretch and was no factor.
