Chart notes

FIONN settled tracking the front from mid pack just off the inside through the first turn and down the backstretch before tipping three wide through the far turn, came under encouragement three furlongs from home, angled out five wide into upper stretch, offered up a good finish to close on the outside and was just up in the shadow of the wire to score while establishing a course record. NITROGEN raced just off the inside through the first turn and then three wide down the backstretch from just off the pace, tucked back to the two path into the far turn and remained patiently handled until let out angled four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just inside the three-sixteenths, dug in under a drive and came under a left handed crop coming out three paths to look the oncoming FIONN in the eye and was nailed at the finish. OPULENT RESTRAINT (IRE) established the front and showed the way in hand along the inside through swift splits, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and spun three wide into upper stretch, got collared just inside the three-sixteenths, dug in under a drive and fought on to the finish. MAY DAY READY leapt at the start and bobbled on the landing conceding five lengths to the front before settling into stride, tracked the front from near the tail of the field two then three wide, came under urging at the three-eighths marker, angled out six wide into upper stretch, stayed on one paced through to the end. WARMING tracked along the inside and then just off the inside coming under a ride three furlongs out, angled four wide at the head of the stretch, offered no response. VIRGIN COLADA got bumped at the start by TOTALLY JUSTIFIED, who broke outwards, settled tracking from just off the inside near the rear of the field, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, angled out five wide into upper stretch and had no kick. TOTALLY JUSTIFIED broke out at the start bumping VIRGIN COLADA, tracked the leader in closest aim just off the inside and then along the inside coming under a ride with three furlongs to go, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch, tired.
