Chart notes

MAGIC CROSS went to the front, showed the way on the inside, was urged along on the far turn, spun four wide into the stretch under pressure, battled inside of the runner-up into the final furlong, disposed of that foe under a right-handed crop shortly thereafter and drew away under steady handling. TAKEMETOTHEBEACH went five then four wide on the first turn, moved up in hand with six furlongs to run then prompted the pace on the outside, drew even with the leader in the two path on the far turn, was carried five wide into the stretch, battled outside the winner under a drive into the final furlong and proved no match while clear for the place. DANCING SPIRIT went three wide on the first turn, settled on the outside, was given her cue in the three path on the far turn, floated seven wide into the stretch, pursued the top two under a drive into the final furlong and came up empty. VILLI OLENTO was away alertly, prompted the leader in the two path on the first turn, dropped back inside the three-quarter pole, was roused outside the half-mile pole, came up empty while inside to the two path on the far turn and faltered then was eased but walked off.
