Chart notes
THEBABESLAYER settled comfortably in a stalking position behind IT'S ALL RIGHT, bided time to the far turn, then quickened clear of the rest along with that rival, battled through the stretch, leaving the rest far behind, gained the upper hand inside the furlong pole, and kicked clear. IT'S ALL RIGHT assumed the early lead without any pressure, dictated the splits to the far turn, fought back under threat from THEBABESLAYER at the top of the stretch, and yielded late. LOOK NO MO stalked three-deep up close to the early leader, was unable to kick on with the top pair, but kept on up the rail and managed to grab the third prize, but well behind the second horse.. SHOP TIME settled in mid-field through the early stages, kept to task late, and moved up. BIG TIME CHARLIE went wide into the first turn but was forwardly placed, tracked four-wide up the backstretch, moved up in range on the far turn but went flat in upper stretch and failed to threaten. FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER was outpaced early but settled in a good spot inside, but well off the pace, came under pressure midway through the turn, and was unable to generate any late interest. CODY THE KID dropped far back early and was never a factor. SLAMIN SAMMIE got floated four-wide on the first turn, raced near the back, and offered nothing in the late stages.
