Chart notes

DOIN MISCHIEF drifted in at the start, chased the early pace, rallied two wide to make the lead late on the turn, drifted inward under right handed urging in mid stretch then drew clear. PURE GRINDING sprinted clear soon after the start, set the pace into the turn, kept on into the stretch, was shut off by the winner at the furlong marker, checked and shifted outside that one and finished well clear for second. HAPPYCASTLE broke outward, trailed into the stretch then passed tiring rivals three wide. CRIMSON CRUSH failed to menace. SOME KINDA WARRIOR was pinched back at the start, rushed to contention, had speed in the three path then along the inside into the turn and was through after a half. THE STEWARDS POSTED THE INQUIRY SIGN AND THE RIDER OF PURE GRINDING LODGED A CLAIM OF FOUL AGAINST THE RIDER OF THE WINNER FOR INTERFERENCE IN MID STRETCH. AFTER REVIEW THE STEWARDS DISQUALIFIED DOIN MISCHIEF AND PLACED HIM SECOND.
