Chart notes

VERIFIRE sped to the early lead, saved ground while pressured around the turn, asserted himself in upper stretch, pulled away and was tapped once with the whip in mid stretch. SAXTON lightly brushed with CHANGE MY WORLD at the start, eased outside mid way down the backstretch, prompted the winner to upper stretch, faded and held the place. STRAIGHT TO WATER brushed with CHANGE MY WORLD soon after the start, left the turn in the two path, eased out in upper stretch and had a slight rally. CHANGE MY WORLD lightly brushed with SAXTON at the start, brushed with STRAIGHT TO WATER soon after the break, was kept wide leaving the turn and failed to be a factor. BLO BY'EM , three wide chasing the pace to the stretch, weakened. ARTILLERY GUNNAR hugged the inner rail around the turn and gave way.
