Chart notes

DRUNK ON SAKE set the pace on a clear, well rated lead to the far turn, repelled the bid of HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE on the bend to kick away again in upper stretch and held well in a determined drive. NEOKING reserved off the pace in mid-pack for five-eighths, closed the gap on the final turn and put in a grinding bid through the lane to be second best. HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE prompted the pace to the final turn, rallied to threaten midway on the bend, was turned away by the winner and ran-on willingly. NOBLE STAR slow early to be the trailer, commenced a steady advance leaving the three-eighths pole and finished without impact. HARD MISSION tracked the leaders to midway on the far turn and lacked a closing response. PERSISTEN was not a threat. WICKED GENIUS stalked the pace for a half and was through early.
