Chart notes

WILLY D'S stumbled at the start, recovered to establish the front after some coaxing just after the break and showed the way in hand along the inside through the first turn and then just off the inside down the backstretch, remained just a bit off the rail through the far turn and came under coaxing near the quarter pole before being set down spinning three wide into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in and held safe over a late charging and wandering rival. CLASSIC CATCH hustled from the gate when off half a beat slow, chased just off the inside coming under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, got to wandering and drifted out despite a right handed crop four to five paths through the stretch to the finish while closing in to latch on the aforementioned foe as he hit the wire. OCTANE hustled from the start, chased two then three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, weakened. FILM STAR three wide through the first turn, chased four wide down the backstretch and through the far turn ridden along from the seven-sixteenths, went seven wide at the head of the stretch, weakened. DUBYUHNELL got bumped after the start by KUCHAR, who came inwards, chased along the inside and came under a ride with seven-sixteenths to go, faded through the remained of the far turn and spun just off the inside into upper stretch, then tired in the drive. KUCHAR three wide through the first turn, chased four then three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, swung three to four wide for home and tired.
