Chart notes

RHYTHM RIOT coaxed from the gate, established the front just after the start and showed the way in hand just off the inside, came under coaxing with five-sixteenths to go, continued in the two path into upper stretch and edged clear under a drive to the eighth pole, held well and clear to the finish kept to task. THE GABE DIGGER chased two then three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, dug in head to head with DIAMOND JUAN from the eighth pole, through to the finish, lugged in slightly a sixteenth out, then came out a path late while offering up a mild kick to secure the place honors. DIAMOND JUAN chased three paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four to five wide through the turn under urging from the three-eighths marker, tipped five to six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. CYBERTAPPING broke in a step at the start taking over the lane of TUTTO A POSTO, chased just off the inside under encouragement from the seven-sixteenths pole, angled four wide into upper stretch, kept on to the finish. MALACHI MIRACLE shied in at the break filling the space left vacant by CYBERTAPPING, chased along the inside coming under prolonged urging with nine-sixteenths to run, took the inside route into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. CHAMBERED broke out a step at the break, chased three then four wide under urging from the seven-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch and tired. TUTTO A POSTO brushed the near side stall at the start and then lost his lane to CYBERTAPPING, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, spun three wide for home and tired.
