Chart notes

DEFENDING ALBERT vied three to two wide approaching the turn, led turning for home, met an outer pair challenges at the quarter pole, yet repelled those bidders entering upper stretch and inched clear. ZECA DIABO bumped with an inner rival and was subtly put to crowded quarters between horses at the start, laid off of the pace in the three path, launched progress between rivals leaving the three furlong pole, loomed a danger ranging up to bid four wide at the quarter pole, but was turned away by the eventual winner in upper stretch and was second best. THREE ECHOES broke a beat slow, stalked along the inside, tipped to take aim outside of the top pair as an outer rival bid alongside at the quarter pole, but got outkicked entering the lane and chased the top pair home. AIR CAV bobbled leaving the gate, bumped with an outer rival and dropped out of tight quarters between horses at the start, settled well back in the four path, advanced between horses entering the lane and moved up. DEVILISH DESIRE chased from midpack along the inside, shifted out to the two to three path at the three furlong pole and failed to menace. SOUTHERN PASS TIME pursued from midpack two wide, then along the inside turning for home and failed to factor. HIGH PROBABILITY vied for the lead inside of a pair early on, then only inside of the eventual winner into and around the turn, but gave way at the quarter pole and weakened. ENOUGH ALREADY bumped the outer stall door and broke slow, trailed in the five path and made little impact. WAR DEPT CALLING prompted between the top pair through the opening stages, but yielded into the turn, chased from the four to five path shortly after but weakened at the five sixteenths pole.
