Chart notes

WILD NUGGET steadied when put in close soon after the break, regrouped, angled out and quickly gained about three wide heading to the half, dropped in a path and engaged KEVIN MAC leaving the far turn, dueled outside that one, kept on doggedly under pressure and just got up between foes. KEVIN MAC bobbled at the break, corrected then came in sharply bothering foes through about the opening furlong, shook clear near the half then dropped in, was joined by WILD NUGGET exiting the far turn, dueled on a slim lead, drifted out clinging to the advantage past the sixteenth pole then was edged out in the final jumps. POKER PLAYER KAZ , forwardly placed soon after the start, was brushed then steadied back from between foes leaving the five eighths, worked between horses then gained mid turn, shifted out for the drive, gave hard pursuit outside the embattled leaders and steadily gained through the final yards. RUN HELWIG RUN was steadied when put in tight by the winner after about a sixteenth of a mile, regrouped and edged up wide to be within range, chased four wide nearing the lane, failed to kick on leaving the three sixteenths and faded. GREY SHADOW had speed inside rivals then was shuffled back near the five eighths, dropped back to last, angled out to race between runners entering the lane but failed to muster up a serious late run. RUNAWAYTOTHEMOON broke inward then steadied when recovering, was under pressure three wide off the pace around the turn and failed to menace. WARRIOR'S WAY OUT was forced in some nearing the five eighths then vied briefly to the inside of KEVIN MAC, failed to keep pace leaving the three eighths and weakened. Following a stewards' inquiry and objections by the riders of POKER PLAYER KAZ and RUN HELWIG RUN, KEVIN MAC was disqualified from second and placed fourth for causing interference in the run through the opening furlong.
