Chart notes

SECRET STORM had a good spot drafting behind the pacesetter down the backside, continued to be nestled on the fence waiting for the cue to move through the turn, shifted out off the freewheeling frontrunner three wide in upper stretch and with relentless pursuit wore the leader in the shadow of the wire for the win. FRAC RIGHT was going comfortably up top with only mild pressure to its outside along the backstretch, dictated the pace inside with a rival trying to keep up through the turn, spurted away still quite in control at the top of the lane, remained in charge with a furlong to go inside but could not stave off the tenacious winner in deep stretch and was caught just before the finish line. CATHOLIC JACKIE had a stalking trip ahead of one runner along the back straight, travelled outside in the third flight tracking through the turn, swung out widest in the seven path for the long drive, was no match for the lead pair who had it to themselves but kept on trying to the finish line and got up right at the wire to capture third money outside. SUGAR IT'S ELI was away a step slow to begin, settled in mid-division between horses, had an inside trip in the third tier around the bend, rallied up the fence dueling for a piece of the prize in upper stretch, could not go with the front duo by the furlong pole and weakened late, nabbed right at the wire to settle on the fringes in the end. MIDNIGHT TEMPESTA was void of early speed trailing down the backside, co-trailed with an inside rival around the bend, shifted out five wide with a quarter mile to run and could only manage to pass some weary rivals outside down the lane. PASSTHEPUDDINPLEAZ had a slow start to begin, moved up quickly five deep down the back straight, watched the lead duo while outside the eventual winner midway around the turn, shifted to the five path straightening for home, dueled for a minor placing in mid-stretch but gave way in the final seventy yards. SNOOKERED had a trail trip in mid-pack down the backstretch, was throttled down slightly on the fence at the half, co-trailed inside at the top of the lane and could not play a factor inside runners in the stretch drive. GUARD OF HONOUR prompted the pace on the outside, continue to flank the leader outside while being scrubbed on to keep up through the turn, angled to the four path between foes for the stretch drive between rivals but had little left and folded by the furlong marker.
