Footnotes
CAIRO SURPRISE , carried out at the break, recovered and raced forwardly and to the inside of a rival early on, angled out under asking leaving the far turn, circled four wide with momentum into the stretch, wrested command outside BUDS NOTION in mid stretch, wandered out a bit, corrected with some right handed encouragement and drew out. BUDS NOTION , forced out multiple paths by WALL ART at the break, regrouped and pulled his way forward three deep nearing the turn, bid to engage the leader mid turn, spurted clear under coaxing into the stretch, failed to contain the winner leaving mid stretch but kept on willingly to the wire. OUR NOTION drifted out at the break bothering the winner, dropped off the pace while saving ground, eased out in the drive and churned on to be clear of teh rest. WALL ART ducked out sharply at the start, straightened and pursued two wide, failed to kick on past the five sixteenths, shifted in and retreated. THE BIG LEP went clear soon after the break, set a brisk pace towards the inner rail, relinquished command past the five sixteenths and faltered through the final furlong.
