Chart notes

MISSION CRITICAL coaxed from the gate, prompted the leader from the outside in the three path coming under encouragement at the five-sixteenths pole, took over command swinging three wide into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive kept to task. LIFE'S TOO SHORT bobbled at the break recovering inwards and bumping CLASSIC COMMANDER, chased five then four wide under a ride from three furlongs out, cornered four wide into upper stretch, kept on to secure the place honors. BOOTSY'S A RASCAL got bumped at the start while under coaxing by CALVARY HILL, who recovered inwards from a bobble, chased four then three wide under urging from the five-sixteenths marker, angled five wide into upper stretch and improved position to the finish. QBITS brushed the near side stall at the start, showed the way in hand just off the inside under some pressure from MISSION CRITICAL to the outside, came under encouragement three furlongs from home, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and was displaced from command, then weakened in the final furlong. CLASSIC COMMANDER broke out a step and was bumped at the start by LIFE'S TOO SHORT, who recovered inwards from a bobble, chased two to three paths off the inside until tucked inside at the half mile pole, chased along the rail through the turn and into upper stretch and weakened. CALVARY HILL bobbled at the break coming inwards and bumping BOOTSY'S A RASCAL, chased three then two wide under urging from three furlongs out, spun three wide for home and weakened in the drive. MOSCONI chased six paths off the inside down the backstretch, came under coaxing half a mile from home and tucked five then four wide through the turn losing ground and growing detached at the tail of the field, continued four wide into upper stretch and trailed.
