Chart notes

CRUISE THE NILE bumped with a rival at the break, went up to prompt the pace three wide throughout, made a three to four wide bid leaving the turn and kicked clear in the final furlong to prove best under a drive. QUEREME PASS (ARG) showed the way on the inside and was well handled throughout, came two to three wide off the bend and headed by the three sixteenths and dug in but could not go with the winner while saving the place award. LOST AND CONFUSED was settled along the inside and came two wide off the bend and had a late kick to get the bob for the show award. RUSE was rated along between rivals moved out and came six wide into the lane and ran on late to just miss the show award. IRONSIDES was rated along the inside and came under coaxing by the five sixteenths and was two wide by the quarter pole but lacked thew needed winning bid. BITE AND STRIKE was bumped at the start, reserved early, two to three wide on the far turn and then ran on in traffic and was blocked the final furlong. DUMB MONEY was four wide into the first turn and stalked the pace four wide and tired in the lane. FAVORABLE SCENARIO was five wide into the first turn, settled on the outside and was four to five wide on the far turn and had no rally. FLAT TO DA MAT stumbled at the break and was reserved on the inside and failed to menace. PATRICK'S PROMISE was settled between rivals and tired on the far turn. RUNNER EYES chased the early pace four wide and then was three wide on the far turn and stopped.
