Chart notes

JILL'S A HOT MESS broke in and bumped with a foe, pressed the pace on the outside of two rivals, vied in the three path on the turn, took the lead in the four path into upper stretch, shook clear under a strong hand-ride into the final furlong, was put to a right-handed crop approaching the sixteenth-pole, swapped back to her inside lead late and held under strong urging. LILLY SIMONE was coaxed along towards the rear of the field, saved ground early on the turn, shifted three wide late on that bend then was roused near the quarter-pole, turned into upper stretch under a drive, rallied into the final furlong and closed fast to just miss while clear for the place. TRANSLATE broke in at the start, tracked the leading trio on the outside, made a four wide bid on the turn, was roused outside the quarter-pole, came five wide into the stretch under the crop, dropped back into the final furlong and was out-kicked while just able to get the show. JADES GELLY acted-up in the gate and was in the hands of the assistant starter a bit longer then the rest of the field and came out a few lengths behind the front, was urged along at the rear, went three wide on the turn, swung seven wide into the stretch and finished with good energy to just miss third. BIG AL'S GAL bumped with an opponent at the start, moved in while settling off the pace, shifted out leaving the backstretch, went three wide on the turn, was driven six wide into the stretch, gained into the final furlong, remained on her inside lead until just outside the sixteenth-pole, swapped to the proper lead at that point and lacked the needed kick in the end. SMOOTH PEBBLE showed good speed, disputed the pace down the backstretch, vied in the two path on the turn, was asked while spinning into the three path at the quarter-pole then came under a drive while losing the advantage to the winner, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened. SKY KITTEN broke out and brushed the gate at the start, settled on the outside, passed the half-mile pole under extra left-rein pressure, moved in leaving the backstretch, went around the turn in the two path and failed to rally. SISTER'S GHOST showed early speed, contested the pace on the inside, dropped back passing the five-sixteenths and capitulated. FOLLOWING A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INTO THE START, JADES GELLY WAS DECLARED A NON-STARTER DUE TO HER BEING HELD BY THE ASSISTANT STARTER A BIT LONGER THEN THE REST OF THE FIELD AS SHE ACTED-UP AT THE START
