Chart notes

THEN three paths off the inside past the stands the initial time, tucked to the two path into the first turn before tipping back three wide down the backstretch settled in mid pack behind the cover of RUNGIUS, had that rival tuck in a path at the seven-sixteenths and advanced three wide bidding into contention three furlongs out, got on near even terms swinging five wide into upper stretch, seized command straightened away, edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in and held clear to prevail. ACTIVIST INVESTING (GB) bobbled at the break and recovered outwards, settled just off the inside at the tail of the field, tipped out three wide inside the seven-sixteenths following CRYSTAL QUEST who followed THEN, got roused angled out seven wide at the top of the stretch, offered up a mild kick to cut into the winner's margin late. CRYSTAL QUEST three to four paths off the hedge past the stands the first turn, settled just off the inside near the rear of the field, tipped three wide at the seven-sixteenths and followed THEN through the far turn patiently handled until let out spinning six wide into upper stretch, then offered up a mild kick. EARLY ADOPTER (GB) coaxed from the start, settled just off the inside in pursuit from mid pack patiently handled until asked angled six wide at the head of the stretch, kicked on belatedly to the finish. VESTING (IRE) four then three wide past the stands the initial time, went three then two wide through the first turn, was under a firm hold and pulled keen when BAKERS STREET was along his inside moving by midway down the backstretch, settled briefly before eagerly pulling once more as THEN advanced outside, was off heels of RUNGIUS under a firm grip through the far turn, tipped four wide into upper stretch into the clear set down for the drive and offered no response. RUNGIUS coaxed from the start, prompted the leader from the outside two to three wide coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, continued two to three wide at the top of the lane, weakened in the stretch. NOTED fractious in the gate prior to the start, bobbled and hit the off side stall at the start, came under hustling and showed the way in hand along the inside through moderate splits under the watchful of RUNGIUS to the outside, came under urging three furlongs from home as THEN stacked three wide, took the inside route into upper stretch under threat and yielded the front straightened away and tired through to the finish. BAKERS STREET brushed the off side stall at the start, tracked the pace along the inside from a loose pocket, came under coaxing at the three-eighths marker, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch and tired.
