Chart notes

WILDFIRE was under a snug hold sitting behind the frontrunner in the beginning, waited to move watching the lead trio while on the fence around the bend, was asked for more at the quarter pole to be in the hunt hugging the rail in upper stretch, switched leads and gears at the sixteenth pole and got up in the final few strides for the win. BENNYS JETS was jostled between horses on the break, recovered through the backstretch to sit behind the engaged twosome at the half three deep, moved around horses comfortably coming to the leader midturn, pounced four wide taking over control at the top of the lane, was under a busy ride trying to hold off the winner inside in the final eighth of a mile but just missed in the shadow of the wire unable to secure the win. BUCYK was checked in tight quarters at the nine sixteenths pole, stalked near the rear but was headstrong at the half, advanced smartly in midturn, angled out at the quarter pole closing the gap, continued with the good rally five wide turning for home, was no match for the front duo with a furlong remaining but finished up well enough to be a clear third at the wire. ALPHA KADIN broke inwards on the start to see the field outside rivals down the backside, was forced out four wide trying to avoid the troubled runner at the three furlong pole, got back into gear with a quarter mile to run, angled to the five path at the top of the lane and had a good late finish outside horses in the final furlong to get up late to be a fringe player in the end. TIERNAN pulled the rider along the backstretch to press the pace outside by the half mile marker, chased the frontrunner between horses through the turn, was in the mix three wide at the top of the stretch but weakened with rivals on either side at the furlong marker. KNOWING bobbled on the break, was taken a hold of early in the backstretch to be near the rear at the half, was checked when behind the troubled rival entering the turn losing all momentum and could not factor afterwards. SCARY SPEEDY broke sharp getting the early advantage, had company outside by the half, continued up top around the turn, was collared on each side two wide turning for home, offered little resistance and folded by the sixteenth pole. ANOTHER CHARLIE settled between rivals in mid-division along the backside, stumbled badly almost unseating the rider at the seven sixteenths pole, was eased around the turn four to five wide avoiding runners and galloped down the lane crossing the finish line.
