Chart notes

SIR GREYSON broke well, dueled briefly with IRREFUTABLE into the turn, then kicked on from the three furlong pole, opened up a clear lead and held sway down the stretch while drifting out. HOT CHICKS ONLY was allowed to settle from the break and was near the back through the early stages, advanced into contention racing four or five wide through the turn, bid five wide turning for home, shifted in to the three path for clear run and could not catch the winner but won the battle for second. TALK ABOUT AUTISM broke well and raced just behind the dueling leaders down the backstretch, moved from the inside to the three path near the three furlong marker, launched a bid from there, loomed a threat to the eventual winner at the top of the stretch but shied from that rival drifting into the path in upper-stretch and also had some trouble changing leads and lost the place in the last jump. IRREFUTABLE broke best and took the lead out of the gate, was joined by SIR GREYSON before a furlong was run, dueled briefly with that foe into the turn then could not match strides past the three furlong marker, kept on well under steady handling and intermittent urging but could not crack the top three. FIFTY CINCO tracked mid-pack through the early stages keeping to the two or three path, got a good run into the stretch from the inside but could not find the needed response in the lane. HEY MATE lacked speed from the break, raced wide down the backstretch, made a mild run through the turn but could not sustain and was outrun in the stretch. WAR GAMES was away poorly the rushed up to join the rest, raced near the back of the pack but not far off the leaders to the turn then, faded after passing the three furlong marker and was not a factor in the stretch.
