Chart notes

COWBOY MIKE sprinted clear and crossed over, opened up around the far turn, roused at the top of the lane and maintained a comfortable lead under urging to the wire. BIG JUANITO settled along the inside then moved to the two path around the clubhouse turn, drew closer in hand between runners in the middle stages, rallied into second while traveling two to three wide on the far turn, drifted out while taking aim at the COWBOY MIKE in the stretch, could not summon the needed late kick but was clearly second best. LEYAS CANDY stalked three then four wide on the first turn, ridden along in the those same paths on the second bend, could not produce the needed rally but was able to save the show. TARIFF stalked along the inside, came under a ride at the halfway mark, got shuffled behind a rival on the far turn, tipped two wide and went around that one, kept trying down the lane but could not get by LEYAS CANDY for third. SHORTMAN trailed four wide early, outside a rival on the backstretch, went two wide into the far turn, angled back out to the four path around the bend and passed tired rivals. CATHAL (IRE) was fractious in the gate, coaxed along the inside near the back, asked for more into the far turn, chased between rivals then three wide into the lane and failed to menace. CUPID'S CRUSADER chased four then five deep on the first turn, lost ground still wide on the second bend and had little left for the drive. SMILING JOJO was forwardly placed in the two path early, dropped back while finding the rail on the far turn and tired in the stretch. LEVON stalked two then three wide early, between runners into the backstretch, dropped back on the far turn, went five wide into the lane, was eased and walked off.
