Chart notes
KING IN TOWN broke a step slow to begin, recovered smartly well in hand quite content shadowing the frontrunner outside through the backstretch, inched up measuring the inside leader around the turn, pounced three wide taking control quickly at the top of the stretch and with little urging in the final furlong won going away impressively when crossing the finish line. WE THE NORTH broke outwards on the start, was situated three deep keeping a watchful eye outside on the engaged pair at the half mile pole, was all alone two wide in the turn running trying to stay in touch with the contesting duo at the quarter pole, shifted to the three path taking the corner. FLATTER SPUN had the two path with rivals on both sides settling in mid-pack along the backside, remained two wide keeping pace with the front three rivals through the turn, shifted out slightly in mid-stretch making a late run and closed in belatedly in deep stretch to get up outside at the wire for the show money. JACK SPARROW was away alertly on the rail dictating the early pace up top, maintained a slim lead while hounded outside by the eventual winner around the bend, was collared outside by the top of the stretch surrendering the lead and faded on the rail inthe last sixteenth of a mile losing a couple of positions in the late going settling on the fringes in the end. SUGARS BOY was brushed by the inside rival on the break sharing the rear outside another at the five eighths pole, could see the field being a solo last at the half, made no impression two wide lagging behind the group on the turn, swung out widest to the five path in upper stretch and finished up with interest passing tired inside runners through the lane. BARELY POLISHED was away sluggishly co-trailing on the inside entering the back straightaway, progressed on the fence to midfield by the half, took the shortest route around the bend but was regressing slightly by the quarter marker, scraped paint turning for home but failed to menace in the stretch drive. CELEBRATOR travelled four deep near the rear midway along the backside, made a brief move advancing around some runners three wide on the turn, shifted to the four path for the drive but could not sustain the rally and flattened out between horses in the last eighth of a mile. GOLD DRAGON had the three path between runners having only a couple of rivals beaten with a half mile remaining, was asked for more in midturn three wide but offering little response through the oval and came up empty at the head of the lane.
