Chart notes

GOLD PERL set the early pace while in the two path, dropped to the inside on the turn while in hand, then kicked away leaving the turn when shaken up and then drew off to prove much the best under hand urging with plenty of speed to spare. RAFA JUNIOR chased the early pace and advanced two to three wide on the turn, then proved to be no match for the winner while winning the place duel. WIN N WIN was away alertly and stalked the pace three wide and then was two wide on the turn and then could not keep up with the winner leaving the turn and was out-kicked for the place award while besting the rest. SWEDISH CANDY chased the pace in between rivals and was two to three wide on the turn but weakened. BATTALION LEADER was off a step slow, chased the pace four wide and was in between rivals by the five sixteenths and weakened. IL PRINCIPADO chased the early pace and moved to the outside and was five wide on the turn, came six wide into the lane and was not a threat. BETTER DAY was well placed early on the inside and weakened on the turn and then was empty.
