Chart notes

ROCK OF AGES away alertly, set a pressured pace along the rail into the far turn, fought off challengers on both flanks through the stretch, dug in gamely for the score. ESPRESSO bobbled at the break, rated off the pace down the backside, took aim four wide from the furlong marker, rallied late to claim the place award. JUST A WIZARD hustled up into the first turn, ridden along to keep pace down the backside, under a very hard ask inside leaving the quarter pole, stayed on willingly for the show. BAD LINEAGE outrun down the backside, swung out six deep into the lane, went by the faders improved placing late. PAINT THE ALLEY saved ground off the pace, clean rail trip into the lane, evened out. JAKER prompted the pace three wide, herded and under pressure leaving the furlong marker, gave way through the final stages. JOHN'S NOTION chased up close inside down the back stretch, faded through the lane. DR. BUZZY urged along between runners into the far turn, weakened upper. REVOLUTION ROCK fractious in the gate pre-start, sluggish at the bell, never factored.
