Chart notes

GALLO DE FUEGO raced close up early with a rail trip then altered five wide into the stretch and sustained the bid, drawing clear at the wire. GUARDIAN broke sharply and set the pace then was roused at the top of the stretch and was all out in the lane, holding on for place. STAY FOR THE BOOM got away alertly and pressed the pace then chased to the stretch and ran on late. AERATE was void of early speed and saved ground then angled six wide into the stretch and was full of run late. JINXZI settled early and tucked in to save ground then made a rail bid mid-stretch but just raced evenly late. LEBOMBO showed no speed early and saved ground then made a bid between horses into the stretch but was outfinished. ONE MOR STORY rated in the second flight early then angled off the rail into the turn before being asked while four wide at the 3/8 pole but made no rally. ALSTON rated in the middle of the pack early then was urged along into the turn before angling five wide into the stretch to make a brief bid but stopped in the final eighth.
