Chart notes

KIP THE DISTANCE stalked the pace three wide, closed in under solid asking near mid stretch, wandered outward when assuming command inside the sixteenth marker, drew clear then was geared down in the final yards. HOUSE OF MAGIC chased off the rail and to the inside of the winner early on, advanced along the rail and moved through to threaten past the five sixteenths, failed to initially quicken with the winner, shifted out some in upper stretch then back towards the inside to avoid the drifting leader, churned on and earned the place. SHUBAGAIL , quickly to the front, set a rated pace well off the inner rail, denied a rail bid from HOUSE OF MAGIC nearing the lane, spurted back clear under a drive past the three sixteenths, drifted out leaving the furlong grounds and weakened late. POCKET SAND prompted the early pace in the four path, was under pressure leaving the far turn, failed to kick on and faded between foes. HOPEFORGREATNESS stumbled badly at the break, recovered and was urged up to be within range, saved ground into the stretch but failed to drum up a rally.
