Chart notes

ABOLITIONIST coaxed on around the first turn, dictated the tempo into the second bend, clear turning for home, held safe under steady encouragement. BARAPHA found nice clean pocket inside off the pace down the backside, accelerated quickly along the rail around the far turn, tipped out three deep through the lane, rallied with good energy for the place. BLAMEITONMYROOTS came under pressure mid-way down the backside to keep pace with the leaders, roused hard between rivals leaving the quarter pole, chased on evenly to secure the show. TAP THE ARCHES very slow into stride, drifted well wide coming out of the first turn, had no late impact. TOWN HOT carried out wide leaving the club house turn, never factored through the stretch. GRONKSFLYINSEAGULL chased the top pair three wide around both turns, gave way through the final sixteenth.
