Chart notes

ALYS BEACH chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge through the final furlong taking narrow command a sixteenth out, came out two paths under a left handed crop with seventy yards to go to trade a bump with LIFE TALK in the shadow of the wire and gamely held on to prevail. LIFE TALK shied in at the start and was taken hold of conceding three to four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased three wide down the backstretch and then went five wide through the turn advancing under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, tucked four wide at the five-sixteenths, went five wide into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge a furlong from home, came in under an active left rein three paths once clear of MUGEN to look the aforementioned foe in the eye seventy yards from home, traded a bump just outside the finish line fighting gamely but missed at the end. MUGEN broke in at the start bumping WASKESIU into PHANTASMICAL and in turn into ICE COLD, showed the way in hand just off the inside under pressure from RINGY DINGY to the outside, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, continued just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under threat from flanking challengers and was collared a sixteenth out, ran on clear for the show honors. WASKESIU shied in at the start then got bumped by MUGEN into PHANTASMICAL, chased along the inside in closest aim of the top pair coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung just off the inside into upper stretch, got flashed the crop to the left side while weakening in the late stages. RINGY DINGY prompted four then three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, swung three wide into upper stretch and weakened. ICE COLD broke out at the start, then got bumped by PHANTASMICAL due to pressure outside begun by MUGEN and was carried into the bend of the clubhouse turn, extracted herself and conceded three to four lengths to the front before settling to chase along the inside, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, continued in the inside route into upper stretch and weakened. ALAMO broke in at the start bumping JUST MUSIC, chased five then four wide, came under coaxing briefly three wide at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. JUST MUSIC bumped at the start by ALAMO who broke inwards, chased five wide until tucked two to three wide half a mile from home, then went four wide through the turn and four to five wide into upper stretch and made no impact. PHANTASMICAL broke out at the start and was bumped by WASKESIU due to pressure from MUGEN and got knocked back inwards into ICE COLD and then carried that foe in to the bend of the clubhouse turn, chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, swung three wide for home and tired.
