Chart notes

PROTECTED vied two wide for the lead, shook free midway on the turn, responded to the strong challenge from the runner up, drew clear from that rival and was ridden out. SMUGGLER'S GOLD tracked on the inside, moved up inside at the quarter pole, angled out entering the stretch, rallied outside of PROTECTED making a strong bid at the furlong marker, then was no match for that rival. MIDNIGHT STORY was bumped at the start, vied inside for the lead, then chased the winner, dug in through the lane and held well for third. ISLAND SPIRIT was bumped at the start, stalked close up outside, chased on the turn, lacked a bid and finished evenly. POST COMMAND raced three wide off the pace, chased four wide and faded. JOEBOY'S JEDI trailed and did not factor. GIANT JAMES raced two wide, then inside on the turn and did not factor.
