Chart notes

SALAMIS settled just off the inside in pursuit from mid pack, remained patiently handled until let out angled six wide into upper stretch, rallied surging to collar the front inside the eighth pole, then edged away to the finish to prevail. CAPITOL HILL saved ground near the rear of the field, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. GRIFFIN'S WHARF tracked the leader in closest aim from just off the inside, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, kept on to the finish. CANDYTOWN two to three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, kept on to the wire. CHURCH AND STATE saved ground at the tail of the field, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, spun two to three wide for home, kicked on belatedly to the finish. X Y PRIME tracked the pace along the inside coming under a ride at the five-sixteenths, cut the corner into upper stretch, weakened. MAGIC PATHWAY coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside coming under urging at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared inside the eighth pole, weakened through to the end.
