Chart notes

INSTANT RESPONSE had a head in front on the inside leaving the chute, was confidently reined back letting the outside foe take the lead by the half, shifted out two wide resurgent now on the outside at the quarter marker, loomed boldly in the four path in upper stretch, powered past at the eighth pole and won going away. IMPERIAL WAR broke in at the break, tracked between foes in the beginning, got a neck in front while in hand by the half mile pole, opened up smartly on the turn getting to the fence by the three eighths marker, was allowed to drift out to the three path in upper stretch, had no answer when collared by the winner with a furlong from the prize and safely held at the wire being second best on this day. LAKE COMO HEIST was bumped outside on the start, tracked the engaged duo sitting between runners midway down the backside, shifted out three wide coming on at the quarter pole with runners on either side, angled to the five path in the mix at the top of the stretch and ran on willingly getting up late to be a non-threatening third at the finish line. FULL STAR broke in at the start, trailed the very compact group having to be throttled down behind runners at the nine sixteenths pole, saved ground inching up around the oval, had the two-path straightening out for home and finished up mildly on the rail in the last furlong to settle on the fringes. ASHUKA was under a hustling ride outside through the chute, travelled four deep outside a few runners angling in making contact with the inside rival nearing the half mile pole knocking himself off stride briefly, travelled three wide on the turn but was being pushed out further to the four path by inside foes at the quarter pole, swung out widest six wide turning for home but could only run on one paced down the lane. OCEANOGRAPHY edged up on the inside to sit on the rail in midfield by the half mile marker, dropped back unable to quicken with outside rivals making a rally at the three furlong pole, shifted to the three path for the stretch drive but had little to offer fading by the furlong pole inside foes. SMARTER STILL was bumped by the outside foe on the break, had tight quarters eventually being checked in the three-path trying to hold for forward position with the outside rival angling down coming up to the half, lagged behind the group going three wide around the bend and could not factor in the stretch running.
