Chart notes

MIDNIGHT BLUE NOTE , quickly to the front, set a pressured pace under rating and just off the inside, was coaxed clear leaving the three eighths, turned back and inside bid from SHADY MCGEE (IRE) leaving the three sixteenths, spurted back clear under a drive past the furlong grounds then dug in late to prevail over an outer GLOBAL EMPIRE. GLOBAL EMPIRE rated three wide early, took closer order four wide under a ride mid way on the final turn, leveled off under left handed asking in mid stretch, finished well and simply ran out of ground. SHADY MCGEE (IRE) broke a step slow, raced firmly in hand while saving ground nearing the five eighths, brushed with an outer foe when moving up near the half, came under a ride and tried the winner from his inside near the three sixteenths, failed to match strides past mid stretch and faded. DIAMOND DAVE , off the pace about four wide, circled five wide into the lane and had a belated response. LINE TO GAIN eased off the rail around the first turn and stalked, took closer order between foes and brushed with SHADY MCGEE (IRE) int the process, shifted back inside with pursuit in upper stretch, lacked a punch past the three sixteenths and faded. CHAMPAGNE MIKE , under rating two to three wide prompting the winner, was unable to keep up while under pressure nearing the lane and weakened.
