Chart notes

TRIBAL stalked along the rail through both turns, came off the rail in upper stretch, bid between rivals with a furlong remaining, fought three deep into the last sixteenth and edged clear. HOTHEAD was closet in pursuit from the two path early on, challenged between rivals at the five-sixteenths pole, dueled into the final furlong, put a head in front midstretch but got outkicked by the winner in the late stages. CALL ME SIR laid off the pace on the inside, coaxed along on the far turn, cut the corner into the stretch, closed in from the rail, tipped out with a sixteenth remaining and got up for third. BURNING RUBBER showed the way early from inside, came under threat from a pair of rivals at the five-sixteenths pole, resisted to the eighth pole, lost command midstretch, fought back to the sixteenth pole and weakened. DYNODAVE dropped off the pace early and steered into the two path, found the rail on the backstretch, saved ground through the far turn, asked right handed leaving the bend, angled out at the top of the stretch and finished willingly to the wire. UNPRETENTIOUS got crowded back leaving the gate, tucked inside, trailed with a rival to the outside on the backstretch, continued along the fence around the far turn, had two rivals beat turning for home and produced a mild rally down the stretch. KIMMER trailed in the two path around the clubhouse turn, raced outside UNPRETENTIOUS on the backstretch, entered the far turn in the three path, angled down to the rail around the bend and passed tired rivals in the stretch. MIDWAY LANE settled inside, chased two then three wide on the far turn and never responded when called upon. KEEP DANCIN NICK unhurried from the far outside, traveled three deep around the clubhouse turn, rounded the far turn two then three wide, swung six wide leaving the bend and improved position. BEYOND STOKED followed in range from off the rail, bid three deep around the far turn, fought four deep into the furlong grounds and flattened out. JOEJOE GO reserved between rivals in the two path, driven three wide into the stretch, angled out and could not rally. HENRY ADAMS (IRE) settled three then two wide in the early going, ridden along outside a pair of rivals into the far turn, came five wide into the stretch and failed to menace.
