Chart notes

TEST SCORE bobbled and brushed the off side stall at the start, raced three then two wide past the stands the initial time and tucked to the two path through the first turn settling just off the top pair, became the first charge to get called upon with seven-sixteenths to go looking to get the jump on the rest, angled out five wide into upper stretch, rallied through the stretch to issue a challenge and seize command a sixteenth out, then edged away to the finish to prevail. WORLD BEATER raced just off the inside early on and through the first turn before tipping three wide down the backstretch, continued three wide through the far turn coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, angled seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick and just bested a rival on the wire to secure the place honors. LUTHER (GB) urged from the gate, settled along the inside through the first turn before tracking just off the inside from the tail of the field down the backstretch, remained in the two path into the far turn and was given a notch to work with midway on that bend and began to advance, angled six wide into upper stretch and straightened away between foes, them kicked on belatedly to knock heads late with the aforementioned foe but was ultimately just bested on the wire for the place honors while procuring the show. TANK broke out and brushed the off side stall at the start before bumping EARLY ADOPTER while under coaxing directly to the front, showed the way in hand along the inside through moderate split, came under a ride with three furlongs to run, took the inside route into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in under threat and was collared a sixteenth out, ran on to the finish and was blanketed at the end. NEW CENTURY (GB) settled just off the inside in closest aim of the leader, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, angled three to four wide at the top of the stretch, stayed on one paced through to the finish. FINAL GAMBIT raced just off the inside through the first turn, chased two then three wide from near the rear of the field remaining patiently handled until asked with five-sixteenths to run, angled five then four wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick making late headway but was outkicked to the finish. EARLY ADOPTER (GB) bobbled at the break and was bumped by TANK, who broke outwards, tracked the pace just off the inside and then along the inside patiently handled until roused spinning three to four wide at the quarter pole, then weakened in the stretch.
