Footnotes
LIGHT FANTASTIC broke in at the start under coaxing bumping ABRIGADO, showed the way in hand along the inside, got set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, edged away under a drive to prevail. ESCAPADES broke out at the start brushing SEA VISTA, got taken under a hold off the heels of the aforementioned foe along the inside and pulled keen and unsettled through to the seven-sixteenths marker, got steadied inside that station and conceded two lengths in position settling into the turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and spun three wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid. AMBASSADOR BLUE three wide in pursuit, got coaxed along with five-sixteenths to run, angled four to five wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. GLOBAL PROSPERITY raced just off the inside in closest aim of the leader latched on to the outside, came under coaxing just outside the quarter pole and spun two to three wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. SEA VISTA got brushed at the break by ESCAPADES, chased just off the inside under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, continued in the two path into upper stretch and stayed on one paced to the finish. SICILIAN DEFENSE chased three then two wide under urging from the five-sixteenths marker, spun three wide into upper stretch, weakened. ABRIGADO got bumped at the break by LIGHT FANTASTIC, who broke inwards, chased along the inside under encouragement from the five-sixteenths pole, continued in the inside route into upper stretch and trailed.
