Chart notes

SKYLOFT set a pressured pace from the inside, shook clear on the turn, then was sent down leaving the three sixteenths and kept to left handed crop urging to remain clear. HIGHTAIL FOX was settled early on the inside, advanced up the inside on the turn, tipped out two wide leaving the turn to have aim on the leader and made a bid but flattened out in the final sixteenth while being clearly second best. LOVE BUCKS pressed the pace outside the winner and was two to three wide on the turn, then faded in the lane while drifting to the inside, bested rest. OPERA HOUSE A. D. was reserved early, saved ground on the turn and passed the tiring rivals. WARRIOR OF GOLD chased the pace on the outside, and was three to four wide on the turn and weakened. K PAZ was settled early, two to three path on the turn and weakened. GO STORMY was off slowly, settled in the back and was three to four wide on the turn and never factored. EXPRESS PASS was squeezed back at the break, far back early and never responded.
