Chart notes

LUCK LUCKY (IRE) broke well then followed closely behind SCORCHING HOT early, traveled along the rail then in the two path on the turn, drew alongside the leader turning for home, put that rival away quickly in upper stretch and held well over STERLING SEA AND THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH late. STERLING SEA laid off the pace outside a rival, gained two wide around the bend, rallied steadily down the lane but lacked the needed late punch to get by the winner. THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH trailed early, raced along the inside into the turn, eased off the fence around the bend, came three wide into the lane, finished well outside STERLING SEA and missed second. SIGMA BOY settled off the pace and moved inside, drew closer around the bend, altered out a bit from behind a tiring SCORCHING HOT in upper stretch and weakened after. SCORCHING HOT sped clear and crossed over to the inside, challenged by the winner entering the lane, offered little resistance in upper stretch and gave way.
