Chart notes

BOX OFFICE WARRIOR led early by default as no one wanted the lead and was hard held on the first turn and rated back, then was shuffled back on the inside to trail entering the far turn on the second circuit. split rivals on that turn and advanced setting aim on the leader, closed on the inside leaving the turn and drew off in the final furlong to prove much the best, driving. BRIE'S MISSION was slow to go early and trailed into the first turn, then was keen between rivals and ran off hitting the front entering the backside, ran off on the far outside opening up a huge lead, continued on with a big advantage to the far turn on the second circuit, then was headed leaving the furlong marker by the winner and proved to be no match for that rival while clearly second best. ARTISTIC CHOICE (IRE) was reserved early and advanced three to four wide and made a three wide move on the far turn but flattened out while besting the rest. AWESOME STRIKE was settled early and advanced three wide but tired. RUTHENIAN threw head early while hard to handle on the inside, moved out to be four wide on the far turn but lacked a late response while being no threat.
