Chart notes

BEN DREAMING allowed to settle while never far back, saved ground then was caught in a bit of traffic with three furlong remaining, angled four wide for the stretch drive, responded in the lane and proved best late. GORILLA TREK contested the pace to the far turn, led into upper stretch, was caught late and outfinished while clear of the rest for second. LITTLE ROCKY tracked the pace two wide, was well placed to the final turn, outkicked in the stretch, held safely for third. COURAGEOUSLY settled early, gained three wide to the stretch then lacked a final kick. FLAMINGPROPOSITION sent after an alert beginning, set a contested pace to far turn, gave way in the stretch. IMPECCABILITY unhurried, trailed to far turn, no late bid.
