Chart notes

LEXICO stalked the early pace then made a bid between horses at the 1/4 pole and was urged along through the stretch, responding to get up in time. MAIN MISCHIEF raced with a rail trip early while keen to go then was in tight and taken a hold at the 7/8 pole but continued to pull hard on the run along the backstretch then made a rail bid in the stretch and was all out but just missed at the wire. TWISTED VIPER got away alertly and set the pace while opening up nearing the 1/2 pole before being headed into the stretch then battled but drifted out at the 3/16 pole and gave way late. ROTISSERIE broke outward then settled early before making a four wide bid into the stretch but flattened out in the final sixteenth. DEPENCIER settled early with a rail trip then dropped back into the second turn before racing while four wide through that turn but made no rally in the stretch.
