Chart notes

MIND OF GOLD away without apparent mishap, get set up in the three path prior to departing the backstretch, saw the rider holding something back in pursuit of the pacesetter, was cued up swinging into the stretch, closed the gap enough so as to begin the last eighth latched on to the previously-mentioned foe, out-dueled that one over the course of the sixteenth that followed, then drew off smartly. CHARLOTTE WEBLEY established the top in short order, got guided over into path two, was lightly hand ridden carving out the pace on a loosely-contested advantage, settled into upper and got switched over to stronger handling, was pounced upon by the top one coming up to the furlong marker, had the winner take charge, held on quite well afterwards to save second. BIG AL'S GAL lost her footing springing from the gate, tipped into path two to pursue the runner up, was put to a drive for the drive home, wasn't up to the task at hand and weakened into the show slot. EMPRESS LUCIANA strung out two to three wide on the turn, was more the latter at the top of the lane, lacked the necessary response. MANI PEDI remained stationed in the two path after the field had been released, was between rivals travelling about the turn, commenced the stretch slightly wider, backed away. ELITE SPEED sent over to the rail at the half mile pole, left the five-sixteenths marker being briskly urged along, cut the corner into the lane and faltered. SYZYGY stumbled at the start, raced well out in the middle of the strip of the backstretch, spun three wide onto the turn, strolled towards path six exiting it, failed to contend. All riders carried an additional two pounds in compliance with a weather-related safety initiative.
