Chart notes

TRAFFIC MASTER rated close up to the contested pace while to the inside of a rival, sat patiently awaiting room as a four to five way scramble went on past the five sixteenths, was afforded an inside route when the leader drifted out soon into the stretch, responded when shaken up, forged to command a furlong out, opened up under steady hand encouragement near the sixteenth pole then was taken in hand for the final yards. ARROW SPEED took over from WINE COLLECTOR around the first turn, set a pressured pace inside, staved off a host of pressers leaving the five sixteenths before wandering outward a couple paths into the stretch, corrected past the three sixteenths, failed to contain the inside bid from the winner but kept on valiantly to hold down the place. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE broke a beat slow, settled off the pace while saving ground early on, came off the inside entering the far turn, ramped up a run and circled rivals five to six wide to challenge into the stretch, failed to sustain leaving mid stretch but was well clear of the rest. WINE COLLECTOR stumbled at the break, regrouped and rushed up to entertain the pace outside ARROW SPEED, pestered that one through the backstretch and around the far turn, was caught between foes disputing the issue past the five sixteenths, stayed on with effort to mid stretch then faded. MOTSKARI settled in the clear early on, eased out near the far turn, moved up under a ride and bid four wide between foes, failed to quicken with the leaders soon into the stretch, shifted out and came up empty. GHOSTLYPRINCE tracked three wide outside the winner, was hard used bidding past the three eighths, vied between runners nearing the lane then faltered past the three sixteenths.
