Chart notes

LORD BULLINGDON sped clear early on, remained in hand as an outer rival offered a mild bid around the far turn, shook clear once again in upper stretch, dug in while meeting an outer challenge leaving the furlong grounds and held well. ECHO LANE tracked along the inside, tipped to take aim outside of the leader entering upper stretch, ranged up to bid leaving the furlong grounds but was denied late. BIG BLUE LINE pursued from midpack two wide and between horses, advanced between rivals into and around the far turn, tipped to take aim from the four path entering the lane, but was kept at bay while sustaining striking range through the final furlong. LIPS SAY BLISS brushed with an outer rival at the start, saved ground in midpack and ran on willingly. TOUGH LITTLE NUT brushed with an inner foe leaving the gate, laid off of the pace along the inside, then two wide and between horses around the far turn, shifted out to the four path in upper stretch and stayed on mildly. BETTER BET trailed while tucking from the three path to the inside around the first urn, improved position around the far turn, spun to the four path entering the lane, shifted inwardly in upper stretch and moved up between horses. MOOGIE SON brushed the outer stall door upon leaving the gate, stalked two wide, issued a mild bid to press the leader around the far turn, but faded three wide and between horses in upper stretch. QUADRA ISLAND laid off of the pace two wide and between horses, moved to the four path into the backstretch, tucked back to the two path into the far turn, shifted to the five path entering the lane before tipping inwardly in upper stretch, and failed to menace between horses. EL KABONG pursued from midpack three to four wide, chased in the five path into the lane and gave way. BIG TO DO lacked speed in the two to three path before fanning to the five path into the backstretch, got hung five wide around the far turn before floating to the six to seven path into upper stretch, and failed to factor. GRAND ASPEN raced off of the pace three to four wide, entered the lane in the five path and failed to factor. RED RUN tracked two to three wide, steadied between horses while getting outmoved by an inner foe at the three furlong pole, quickly wilted through the field turning for home and was eased through the lane.
