Chart notes

FRIENDLY CONFINES reserved on the inside, moved into range in the middle stages, brushed outer rival while launching a rally leaving the far turn, took over at the eighth pole, kicked clear midstretch and held safely in the end. CUBAN CONFUSION (GB) unhurried in the two path, pulled and became rank on the backstretch, angled out on the far turn and came four wide into the lane, put in a late run but could not gain the place. TAKES THREE sat off the pace along the rail, asked late on the far turn, chased within range at the eighth pole and edged IRISH PROPHET for the show. IRISH PROPHET chased off the pace outside a pair of rivals, continued in three path through the far turn, bumped in upper stretch, drifted out in the furlong grounds and missed third. DANIEL'S MAGIC bumped with inner rival at the start, sprinted to the front and opened up on the inside, held a diminished lead leaving the backstretch, dueled inside JIMMY BLUE JEANS on the far turn, turned that rival away at the top of the stretch, confronted by the winner and relinquished the lead at the eighth pole, stayed close into the final sixteenth and flattened to fifth late. BIG BET JAFINSAFA raced on the inside near the back, moved off the rail on the backstretch, angled five wide around the far turn and showed a mild response down the lane. THE RABBI bumped with outer rival in the beginning, sat off the pace in the three path, gained while keeping in the three path on the far turn and lacked further response when called upon. OUBABE tracked two wide out of range in the early going, drew closer on the backstretch, remained two wide to the stretch and failed to rally. SPEARFISH trailed early, saved ground through both turns and failed to menace. BROSKI (IRE) stalked next to the fence, cut into the leaders margin in the middle stages, ran up on the heels of that rival and had to steady past the three-eighths pole, waited behind the frontrunners around the bend, got brushed by the winner approaching the stretch and weakened in the drive. JIMMY BLUE JEANS stalked outside a rival, reeled in the leader leaving the backstretch, challenged from outside around the bend, got turned away at the top of the lane, bumped a rival in upper stretch and weakened. UNCLE HAPPY got crowded leaving the gate, raced well off the pace in the two path, angled seven wide around the far turn and was never a factor.
