Chart notes

PRACTICAL JACK away quickly, dueled outside SMASHING MACHINE to the eighth pole, put a head in front midstretch and edged clear from the runner-up late. SMASHING MACHINE took a short lead dueling inside PRACTICAL JACK, maintained a slim advantage into the final furlong, lost the lead approaching the sixteenth pole and yielded to the winner late. ON THE BURNER had to take up when SMASHING MACHINE crossed in front early, moved into range quickly, followed behind the top pair along the inside around the turn, tipped out at the top of the stretch, failed to produce a bid but finished a clear third. CHEEVER broke out and brushed STRIKE A MATCH but was quickly corrected, dropped off the pace, took the turn two to three wide and lacked a rally. STRIKE A MATCH got nudged by CHEEVER leaving the gate, stalked the top pair from off the rail then outside a rival, rounded the bend three then two wide and weakened down the lane. CHARISMA trailed the field on the inside into the turn, eased out to the four path around the bend and was never a factor.
