Chart notes

ATKINS trailed in the early stages, circled his field on the turn and through the stretch and was along in time. SIMPLY VALID pressed the pace along the inside into the turn, shifted out three wide, rallied to gain a narrow lead at the furlong marker then couldn't hold off the winner. STAR ENTERTAINER never far back, finished with good courage inside rivals. ALL JOKES ASIDE set a pressured pace two then three wide and was outfinished. DOCTOR WU went evenly. BELLA FUTURE stumbled badly at the start and was no factor. MORETHANREADYEDDIE close up with the second flight three wide, eased eased from the sixteenth pole to the wire. IMPROBABLE FIRST had speed along the inside into the turn then wilted.
