Chart notes

SILVER SLUGGER set the pace from the inside, pressured on the turn and then shook off that rival leaving the turn and drew off in the final furlong under hand urging to prove much the best. BAR DOWN EXPRESS was rated on the outside early, moved in and split rivals to make a early four to three wide bid to press the winner on the turn, came three wide into the lane but could not go with that rival nearing the furlong marker and proved to be no match while staying on to be clearly second best. JABRAN chased the pace from the outside, three to four wide on the turn and came five wide into the lane and weakened while staying on for the show award. GRIMES chased the early pace in between rivals, moved to the inside on the turn and came two wide into the lane and improved. GET EVEN tracked the early pace on the inside, chased while saving ground on the turn and moved out in the lane while weakening. SWEN chased the pace two wide and settled on the inside on the turn and weakened. SIR ROBERT HALL tracked the early pace three wide, chased the pace in between rivals on the turn and came up empty in the drive.
