Chart notes

UNHEARD had runners on either side sitting in mid-division, began to lengthen stride angling inwards from the five path coming up to the three eighths pole, crept up through the turn two wide waiting to pounce at the quarter pole, found a lane darting up the fence in the final furlong and got up in the shadow of the wire for the rail skimming late rally. VELVET RAGE had the lead narrowly on the inside down the backstretch well off the rail, continued to dictate the pace getting to the fence while hounded outside through the turn, spurted away on the rail in upper stretch, still remained up top clinging between foes with a sixteenth to run but was caught by the winner inside in the last few jumps while saving the place share by a nose at the wire. WILD RED forced the pace on the outside in the three to four path in the early going, argued for the top spot two wide outside around the bend, drifted out to the four path letting the leader edge away in upper stretch, determinedly fought back coming on in the last sixteenth of a mile but was on the wrong end on the outside of a three way win picture at the finish line. CAYENNE KISS was forwardly placed removed from the rail keeping a close eye on the front twosome down the backside as well as throughout the turn, shifted to the two path in the mix in upper stretch but needed more three wide late when evening out in deep stretch to settle on the fringes. REACH FOR THE TOP travelled four deep on the outside of foes in midfield, dropped back at the seven sixteenths pole, made little improvement two wide in the turn running, charged home late making one final burst between horses in the five path in the late stages but ran out of stretch just coming up shy with the late kick. ENCHANTED FOREST was unhurried at the rear in the beginning, started to come with a run three wide at the three furlong marker, continued to gain making a circling move outside foes at the quarter pole, swung out widest in the five path turning for home and was still coming on gradually in deep stretch but just came up short of getting into contention for a share at the finish line. STARSHIP PARADISE was situated inside rivals in mid-pack early on, took closer aim going two wide tracking the lead pair while outside another around the bend, moved out to the four path in with a chance for a piece of the prize in upper stretch but wilted between horses by the furlong pole. MONTY'S INN settled close to the back end while inside runners in the two to three path off the fence when entering the turn, was steadied on the rail at the three eighths pole to be in last throughout the oval and could not regroup to be a factor in the stretch running.
