Chart notes

SIDE EYE broke out then was hustled, contested the pace on the inside of a rival, dropped back along the rail early on the turn then shifted to the three path, chased the leader coming to the quarter-pole, gained to get the advantage into upper stretch, shook clear under a right-handed crop inside the furlong marker, swapped back to his inside lead inside the sixteenth-pole and held under strong urging. NANO MAN broke out then bumped with a foe, was hard ridden off the pace, went around the turn in the three path, was driven into the stretch in the four path and finished willingly to just get the place. COUSIN ED was hustled from the gate then chased the pace, saved ground on the turn, moved out in the stretch and also finished willingly but just missed the place while narrowly able to get the show. KORRONGO was bumped at the start and forced out into another foe, disputed the pace on the outside, moved clear in the two path early on the turn, lost the advantage to the winner in upper stretch and weakened. READY SET TWIRL was bumped very hard after the start, settled off the pace, dropped from the three path to the two path early on the turn, was roused on that bend, spun into the stretch in the four path, remained on his inside lead into the final furlong and lacked the needed response. HARD PAR broke a step slow, settled at the rear, went around the turn in the two then three path, turned into upper stretch under a drive, moved out from behind horses inside the three-sixteenths pole and failed to threaten. UNBROKEN CHAIN broke out and hit the gate, settled under some restraint, moved from the two path to four path on the turn then shifted to the six path outside the quarter-pole, turned into the stretch in the seven path and gained some ground but failed to impact. MESSI THE MAGICIAN was hustled from the gate then urged along off the pace, saved ground on the turn and failed to menace. KOCTEL WAR bumped hard with a rival at the start then collided hard with an outside foe, settled on the outside, went around the turn in the four then five path and came up empty. BASIC TRUTH settled towards the rear on the outside, moved from the five path to the four path on the turn and showed little.
