Chart notes

VERN'S SHOWSTOPPER vied early, led off rail backstretch, drifted to the four path to upper stretch then overtaken, faded in the drive. MUCHO GIFTED settled inside, swung four path upper stretch, rallied three wide to deep stretch, up for second. STRAIGHT LUCK stalked in the three path, no rally upper stretch, weakened drive. TEDDY'S TRIUMPH in tight early, shuffled back, settled inside, no factor stretch. MANY AMBITIONS settled in the second flight, rail bid upper stretch, kept to task, held late. CHASING RAIN unhurried early, coaxed two wide upper stretch, outkicked for second, held third. SHARP WARNING hard sent, tracked from the four path along the backstretch, chased in the five path upper stretch, no late rally. STAND TO settled outside, coaxed from the six path along the backstretch, maintained a wide trip and swung widest to upper stretch, needed more late.
