Chart notes

HOWARD'S HOPE got bumped at the start by SOLO STRYKER breaking inwards, settled just off the inside in pursuit from mid pack patiently handled until roused angled four wide into upper stretch, closed well through the stretch and was up in the final seventy yards, then edged away to the finish to score. AL MOWASHAAH settled tracking the leader just off the inside, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and swung four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just inside the eighth pole, dug in under growing threat to the outside, got collared seventy yards from home and ran on to preserve the place honors clear of the rest. CAPTAIN GEORGE four then three wide in pursuit from just off the pace, came under coaxing three furlongs from home, offered up a bid a furlong out, couldn't sustain the move and flattened out in the late stages while well clear for the show honors. MONACO CROWN a bit rank when put to restraint into the first turn as the leader PAREA tucked in front, grew eager and pulled on the bit tracking inside into the backstretch, settled once the leader was safely in the clear before growing a bit keen when taking closer order off that rival's heels into the far turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and took the inside route into upper stretch, tipped out to the two or three path straightened away and weakened to the finish. PAREA reluctant to load prior to the start, established the front just after the break and showed the way in hand just off the inside settled into a comfortable rhythm through sensible splits, remained on hold until set down taking the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under threat from a pair of rivals and was collared just inside the eighth pole, then weakened in the final furlong. MOTORCYCLE COP two to three wide in pursuit, came under encouragement with seven-sixteenths to go, angled five wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. ALL ABOUT SOUL chased just off the inside and then along the inside under a ride from three furlongs out, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, weakened. SOLO STRYKER a bit fractious in the gate prior to the start, broke in at the start bumping HOWARD'S HOPE, chased along the inside patiently handled until let out swinging four wide into upper stretch, made no impact. PAPA BREZ coaxed along early on from the gate, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under prolonged urging from the half mile pole, tipped three to four wide at the head of the stretch and made no impact. ROADHOUSE WARRIOR bobbled at the break, raced two then three wide through the first turn before heading three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked to the two path through the far turn coming under a ride three furlongs from home, angled five wide into upper stretch and tired. MENDEL raced forwardly placed three then two wide through the first turn, raced three then two wide in closest aim of the leader coming under encouragement with three-eighths to run, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch in retreat and faltered in the stretch. Please note the one mile split was omitted pending review.
