Chart notes

MR MCGREGOR was a bit crowded at the start, was steadied early, advanced on the turn, got through along the rail, assumed command, drew clear and held under urging. RUNNIN MUNNIN stalked the pace while racing towards the outside, was carried out a bit entering the stretch, closed willingly and gained late. OPTIMUS KAT was steadied early, saved ground throughout, closed steadily and got up for show. HOUSE BOURBON vied inside, fell back entering the stretch, leveled off and was outfinished for third. TIWANAKU vied two across, swung out leaving the turn, fell back and finished evenly.
