Chart notes

OBLITERATION bobbled at the start and broke on top despite it, showed the way in hand three then four paths off the inside down the backstretch under pressure from BLINGING IT BACK to the outside, tucked inside through the turn and came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths in concert with his main prompter, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, went clear under a drive and was under a vigorous hand ride late, the outcome in no doubt. BLINGING IT BACK bobbled at the break recovering inwards and bumping HONEY DUTCH carrying in that rival briefly before being taken off that foe, prompted the leader from the outside five paths off the rail down the backstretch and then from the two path through the turn under encouragement with five-sixteenths to run, swung three then two wide into upper stretch, proved no match in the stretch for that rival while running on clear for the place honors. IMAGINE JOHN broke in at the start off half a beat slow and conceded two lengths to the front before settled into stride, chased two then three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled four wide for home and kept on while along for the show honors. STRATEGIC RISK chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn ridden along with five-sixteenths to go, tipped six wide into upper stretch, offered no response. FISTFULOFMONEY stumbled badly at the start buckling to his knees and conceding three lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased seven to eight paths off the rail down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn, continued three to four wide at the top of the stretch and made no impact. HONEY DUTCH stumbled at the break recovering outwards and was bumped by BLINGING IT BACK coming inwards from a bobble, got carried in briefly before being relieved of that pressure and conceded three lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coming under urging at the three-eighths marker, continued just off the inside into upper stretch and tired.
