Chart notes

CHARLOTTE'S SILVER was steadied sharply three furlongs from home, quickly recovered to circle rivals at the quarter pole, bid eight wide outside of horses at the top of the lane, drifted inwards briefly in mid stretch, was straightened out when urged left handed to the wire and prevailed under a patient ride in a eventful race. ASHBURY was shuffled on the rail to last when the field bunched up going into the turn, stayed on the fence looking for running room through the turn, shifted inwards from the three path to the rail in mid stretch and burst up the fence late to make it close at the finish. SMART BIRD travelled two deep in the second flight four furlongs from the prize, was on hold waiting behind the contesting leaders throughout the turn, finally had clear running room at the eighth pole in the four path and gamely finished up to capture third in an solid effort. IRONY stalked near the back of the pack after the start, advanced between foes entering the turn, angled out six deep three sixteenths from home, was steadied nearing the eighth pole and regrouped in deep stretch to be gaining on the leaders to the finish. CELTIC REVIVAL had a narrow lead four wide at the half, still battled up front between runners when they straightened out for the drive and gave way inside at the furlong marker. SPRING HIGH was allowed to settle at the back outside trailing down the backstretch, started to commence a run six deep with seven sixteenths from the finish, was in tight quarters in the seven path turning for home, checked briefly in upper stretch and showed some late energy to pass some horses running to the wire. BLACK TAFFY tracked in the second flight five deep down the backside, bid three wide outside foes at the quarter pole, was contesting on the front end between rivals in the five path turning for home and levelled out in the final sixteenth. STOLE THE RING lost some action trying to keep position nearing the three furlong marker in a tight pack, was near the back of the field behind rivals at the top of the lane still not that far off from the leading group, shifted out in the seven path inside the eighth pole for clear room and ran evenly to the finish. GOLDEN TRAIN prompted the issue up front running inside early on, was ridden on the fence to keep up with challengers at the quarter pole, yielded at the furlong marker, lost her path fading on the rail and galloped to the finish.
