Footnotes
ULTIMATE EAGLE sent along wide in the chute, angled in and set the pace inside, inched away approaching the first turn, responded when challenged
again leaving the second turn, inched away in the stretch and held on gamely under urging. IMAGINING pulled early, bid between horses then outside the
winner, stalked just off the rail, bid again on the second turn, had that rival inch away in the stretch but continued willingly to the wire. WESTERN
ARISTOCRAT chased outside a rival then inside leaving the second turn, came out some in the stretch and also went on willingly between foes late.
SLUMBER (GB) settled inside then a bit off the rail, split horses then came out on the second turn, angled four wide into the stretch and finished well.
VENOMOUS (GB) chased outside a rival then between horses, found the rail on the second turn, moved up inside into the stretch and was outfinished.
CASINO HOST chased three deep, was in a bit tight off heels early on the second turn, angled in outside a rival and finished with interest between foes late.
COZY KITTEN angled in and saved ground off the pace, continued inside on the second turn and in the stretch and was outfinished in the final furlong.
WILLCOX INN angled in and raced unhurried toward the inside for six furlongs, steadied and was forced out around CLOUD MAN early on the second turn,
came four wide into the stretch and lacked the needed rally. IRISH ART four wide leaving the chute, stalked outside a rival then three deep, continued three
wide leaving the second turn and into the stretch and weakened. SURREY STAR (IRE) between horses early, angled in and stalked the pace inside,
dropped back between horses into the stretch, was eased through the final furlong and vanned off after returning to be unsaddled. CLOUD MAN chased
inside then a bit off the rail, was between horses leaving the backstretch and broke down early on the second turn and also was vanned off.
