Footnotes
EVERSHED (IRE) settled tracking the leader along the inside from the pocket, remained on hold until set down taking the two path into upper stretch, angled to the hedge when the leader came off it with three-sixteenths to go, rallied to take command inside the eighth pole, inched clear under a drive to prevail. STORM MIAMI (IRE) established the front and showed the way in hand along the inside through sensible splits, got roused taking the two path into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared inside the eighth pole, ran on to preserve the place honors on the wire. WHITETHORN saved ground in pursuit from mid pack, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, angled three to four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. UNMERITED FAVOR raced three wide through the first turn and then three paths off the inside past the stands the first time before tucking to the two path into the second turn settling in closest aim of the leader, came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole and swung four wide for home, dug in under a drive and kept on to the finish. MASSARAT grew rank under restraint into the first turn and then once straightened away into the stretch the initial time hopping under the restraint unsettled with the slow tempo eager twice before reaching the second turn, saved ground near the rear of the field coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, angled five wide into upper stretch and improved position to the wire. SILVOLOGY settled tracking the front just off the inside from just off the pace, tipped three wide nearing the final turn and came under coaxing three furlongs from home forcing SNIPSNIPPITYSNIP to steady when beating the rival to the path, angled five wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. SNIPSNIPPITYSNIP broke a half a beat slow, settled just off the inside near the rear of the field, was attempting to tip out near the three-eighths when denied the move by SILVOLOGY and was steadied inside that station, angled out eight wide into upper stretch and offered no kick. AWESOMESAUCE settled two to three wide at the tail of the field, tipped out nearing the far and final turn and came under coaxing four wide three furlongs from home bidding and making some ground, angled seven wide into upper stretch and weakened in the drive.
