Chart notes

ALDER chased along the inside from near the rear of the field, angled out eight wide at the top of the stretch roused for the drive, rallied to issue a challenge inside the final furlong and seized command a sixteenth out, then edged away to the finish to prevail. WARALO coaxed from the gate, established the front five furlongs out and cut the pace just off the inside under pressure from BONUS MOVE to the outside, tucked inside through the turn, got set down spinning four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive headed for command a furlong out as TWISTED FILIGREE poked his nose in front at that station, fought on taking back the front narrowly before being displaced from command at the sixteenth marker and fought on to the end. BOLTAGE hustled from the gate, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, went seven wide into upper stretch, ran on to the finish. STEP FORWARD chased along the inside, got let out angled three wide at the head of the stretch, dug in under a drive and was outfinished. TWISTED FILIGREE coaxed from the gate, chased forwardly placed along the inside, got set down spinning two to three wide into upper stretch, rallied along the inside and poked a nose in front at the eighth pole, yielded soon after and weakened in the late stages. BONUS MOVE led early on until displaced from the front five furlongs out, pressed the pace of WARALO from the outside three wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, tipped five wide into upper stretch, weakened in the final furlong. BIG INVASION chased three then two wide, got let out angled six wide at the head of the lane, offered no response. GASLIGHT DANCER chased four then three wide coming under urging near the quarter pole, angled eight wide into upper stretch, trailed.
