Chart notes

BALTASAR was well rated early, made a four to three wide move on the turn to vie for command on the outside, then took over leaving the turn to be clear by the furlong marker and then remained clear under a mild drive being shown the crop in the final sixteenth. HUNTERS GHOST was reluctant to load, then vied for the lead on the inside but could not go with the winner off the turn but did run on to the wire to be clearly second best. LIEUTENANT STAN was settled early, three to four wide advance on the turn, came five wide off the bend and was up for the show award late. MOR SPRING SPIRIT vied for the lead in between rivals to the quarter pole and weakened in the drive. GET EVEN tracked the early pace before steadying nearing the half mile marker, then chased the pace in between rivals by the five sixteenths marker and weakened. STAR KANOO was with the pace early, then tracked the leaders on the turn while in the two path and weakened. TALKSCHEAP was taken back early, advanced on the turn and came five wide off the turn but had no late rally. MIDNIGHT SPECIAL showed brief speed on the inside and then was empty.
