Chart notes

OZARA (IRE) tucked inside soon after the start and settled in pursuit along the inside from mid pack through the first turn, pulled a bit keen near the nine-sixteenths, moving to be just off the pace into the far turn, remained along the inside through that bend and spun just off the inside into upper stretch briefly awaiting clearance as SMOOTH WAVES drifted in slightly, got clearance with three-sixteenths to go and was roused on through splitting foes to take command nearing the eighth pole, inched away before coming under growing late threat to the outside, came out slightly to look her main danger in the eye, the rider flashing the crop to the off side and repelled the challenge to the wire. WEIGH THE RISKS brushed the near side stall at the start getting away slow and conceding five lengths to the front before settling into stride, raced two to three wide through the first turn, chased two to three wide down the backstretch before tucking inside with seven-sixteenths to go, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went seven wide into upper stretch, rallied with good energy through to just inside the sixteenth marker, then had the crop of the rider of OZARA getting flashed out in front of her and finished with more trepidation getting rebuffed at the end. IT'S HOT IN HERE (IRE) coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside through the first turn and then three then two wide down the backstretch, came under light coaxing at the seven-sixteenths and raced just off the inside through the far turn, went five wide into upper stretch, ran on through to the finish to secure the show honors. LATER DARLING dwelt at the start getting away last and conceding seven to eight lengths to the front before settling into stride, raced along the inside through the first turn before taking to the three path into the backstretch, tucked to the two path midway before heading back inside into the far turn, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled out six wide into upper stretch, rallied and was forced to pause and alter out slightly near the sixteenth marker and foes in front drifted, kept on with good courage to secure the last major share. SMOOTH WAVES three then two wide through the first turn, prompted the leader from the two path coming under coaxing near the five-sixteenths, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, took over narrow and brief command at the three-sixteenths, got headed near the eighth pole and weakened in the late stages. GOLDEN GHOST (GB) four then three wide through the first turn, chased three wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late going. BACKSTRETCH ROSE reluctant to load prior to the start, raced just off the inside through the first turn, chased four then two wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went seven wide into upper stretch and offered no response. KINGDOM COME broke slow conceding five lengths to the front, chased along the inside, pulled keenly midway down the backstretch and continued along the inside through the far turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, continued in the inside route into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. CARINA NEBULA coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside through the first turn, then chased three to four wide down the backstretch and through the far turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung six wide for home, weakened in the stretch. SANDS OF WAR coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand along the inside under some pressure from SMOOTH WAVES to the outside, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, took the inside route into upper stretch and yielded near the three-sixteenths, then tired through to the finish.
