Chart notes

MEGASTAR made the lead under some mild pressure from NEOPRENE early, was confidently ridden to upper stretch, went out to about the path, then responded when set down and drew off in the late stages. RHUMBABA was reluctant to load, chased the leading pair under steady coaxing, made a mild run at the eventual winner leaving the quarter pole, could not go with that one late, but kept up a steady pace down the stretch to easily gain the place. AFFAIR TO REMEMBER veered out into NEOPRENE at the start, then was allowed to settle and tracked four-wide down the backstretch, had to be ridden to keep up through the turn, initially lost ground, then started to run on a bit approaching the stretch, finished with some interest but could do no better than split the field in the end. VIDIANO lacked any early speed and chased throughout, managed to be one tired rival to the wire. NEOPRENE was bumped by AFFAIR TO REMEMBER at the break, raced close up three-wide through the early stages, then weakened under heavy pressure.
