Chart notes

CRUDEN BAY tucked in settling last but one racing in the two to three path heading up the backstretch into the turn, bided time then tipped out six to seven wide in upper stretch and was put to urging once a clear path was available, promptly responded and swept to the lead in mid-stretch and drove clear. NORTHERN INVADER was forwardly-placed tracking inside, attempted to get through between runners in upper stretch seeking a seam between the weakening leader and an outside rival, appeared to brush the latter near the furlong marker now with clear sailing but was outkicked by the winner while second best. PIPER'S FACTOR bumped a rival at the start, settled mid-pack off the rail in the two to three path, moved out late on the turn beginning to advance four then five wide, kept on in the stretch but needed more. KEHOE BEACH soon led, set the pace shadowed by foes racing on or just off the rail, was patiently handled racing in hand till upper stretch, was encouraged at the quarter pole then received stronger urging at the three-sixteenths, was overtaken just past the eighth pole and continued to weaken but held on for the minor award. LUCKY SCORE lacked early speed then settled at the back, brought up the rear near the inside well back of the leader heading into the turn, angled eight wide leaving that bend and was asked for run, kept on in the lane gaining mildly but steadily and just missed the super. I'M A GAMBLER (IRE) stalked in hand and under light rating tactics from outside three to four wide, edged a bit closer leaving the turn and was put to urging, could not kick on, appeared to get brushed lightly about the furlong marker and weakened thereafter. TWIN CITY was bumped at the start, settled outside foes in the back half of the field racing three to four deep, swung six wide turning for home, shifted in a bit through upper- to mid-stretch and ran on while improving position. CRUMLIN LAD chased the pacesetter pressing that one from between runners two to three wide heading into the turn, was encouraged to keep up while starting to weaken at the five-eighths, had no response and faded in the stretch. SKY'S NOT FALLING was between foes off the pace into the turn, came out seven wide in upper stretch, failed to rally. SHARDS chased from inside, dropped back and faded.
