Chart notes

UNCAPTURED MOMENT pressed the pace on the rail at the start, patiently drafted behind the leader at the half, waited to move having the rail midway on the turn, shifted out four wide looming the main threat in upper stretch, split foes to take control at the furlong pole and held safe for the win from the oncoming outside rival at the finish line. ASK IN MY NAME broke inwards on the start, had the fence while stalking only ahead of a couple of horses in the early going, waited behind a wall of three runners on the turn, shifted out having a clear lane six wide between foes straightening out for home, stormed past runners staying on the incorrect lead down the lane and finished up smartly nonetheless to be second best at the wire. CANYOUHEARMERUNNIN had the outside tracking position sitting three deep at the half keeping close tabs on the pacesetter, kept pace with the frontrunner while in the second flight outside on the bend, was brushed inside by the eventual winner turning for home, could not match strides at the furlong pole conceding the front but still did fight on to the wire to be a clear third in the end. BRINGER OF RAIN settled in mid-division between horses, made little impact just off the rail in the two path around the bend and still remaining two wide for the drive to the wire finished up willingly in the last eighth of a mile between foes capturing a minor placing in the end. MID DAY IMAGE vied up top with runners on either side early in the backstretch, tracked the frontrunner at the half, was shuffled back slightly at the three eighths marker to sit in the third flight inside with five sixteenths still to run, had a chance for a small share three wide turning for home but evened out being one paced in the final furlong. MILITARY FORCE had a poor start to begin, recovered to sit in midfield three deep with a half mile remaining to run, settled in the third flight outside another rival through the turn, shifted out five wide in the mix for a small share at the top of the stretch but weakened in the final furlong. VALLEY VICTORY was jostled between foes on the break, recovered to sit in the middle of the pack on the fence midway down the backside, saved ground inside two others making little headway through the turn and had no finish to give inside horses running on the fence through the stretch. EMBRACE MY UNCLE was unhurried seeing the field along the backside, still was at the rear going three wide through the turn and found a little interest down the stretch to pass a couple of weary foes, picking up the one straggler right at the wire. JIMMIES BIG DAY prompted the pace on the outside at the start, edged away for a clear lead in hand at the half, quickened the pace loose up top around the bend, was collared outside in the two path at the furlong pole offering no resistance to the winner, was engulfed by rivals outside with a sixteenth to run and was not persevered with in the final seventy yards. C C'S KINGDOM had a stalking role travelling four deep on the outside ahead of only one runner down the back straight, offered a brief move picking up the bit mildly outside horses three wide in midturn, swung out widest in the seven path at the top of the lane but was empty in the stretch drive.
