Chart notes

WAUHATCHIE sprinted up between horses to make the lead soon after the start, set all the pace, shook clear in upper stretch and maintained his advantage under left handed urging. SMOKIN' HOT chased the pace along the inside into the stretch, shifted out three wide and was steadily cutting into the winners advantage late. DREAM ON BABY vied for the lead two wide into the turn, dropped back and altered course three wide nearing the quarter pole then finished determinedly outside rivals. DON'T STOP chased the winner three then four wide and lacked the needed response. BIG BUCKSALOT trailed.
