Chart notes

ANNA ROCKS was sent clear, set an uncontested pace, continued with an advantage in the two to three path around the far turn, was driven into the lane to turn back KERICS BEAUTY and proved best. KERICS BEAUTY tracked the pace outside of OUR SWEET PEA, was urged near the three eighths and advanced to loom outside the leader, was no match for ANNA ROCKS into the lane, drifted out through upper stretch and midstretch, and chased on a clear second best. NORTHERN CROSS raced inside of LAURA'S ANGLE near the rear early, chased behind the tracking flight down the backstretch while still inside that same foe, was urged into the turn, chased while saving ground on the far turn, swung out and was driven in the four path in upper stretch, proved no threat to the top pair but chased on best of the rest. OUR SWEET PEA tracked the pace inside of KERICS BEAUTY, was urged inside past the half, began to flatten out from the seven sixteenths, and proved no further threat when driven in upper stretch. NINJA PRINCESS was slow into stride, settled at the rear, raced well behind the rest of the field down the back straight and in the four to five path on the far turn, raced into the lane in the five path and lacked the needed rally. LAURA'S ANGLE settled near the rear outside of NORTHERN CROSS, continued in the chasing pair with that foe down the backstretch, was urged near the seven sixteenths, and then driven into the lane in the four path, had no response and weakened.
