Chart notes

GOLD LIGHTNING broke in at the start brushing GOLDEN GHOST, tracked just off the inside from near the rear, got let out spinning three wide into upper stretch, tipped out a path a furlong out, rallied to take command a sixteenth from home, edged away under a drive to prevail. POSITIVE CARRY (IRE) tracked the pace along the inside coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to secure the place honors. SASSY PRINCESS three then two wide through the first turn, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the far turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, rallied to take command inside the eighth pole, got collared a sixteenth out and kept on to preserve the show honors. DEEP CONVICTION (IRE) three then two wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid, then weakened in the late stages. GOLDEN GHOST (GB) got brushed at the start by GOLD LIGHTNING, showed the way in hand two to three wide, tucked inside at the seven-sixteenths, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was caught a furlong out, weakened in the late going. DAY AWAY three wide in pursuit, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled five wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. KINGDOM COME just off the pace tracking just off the inside, tucked inside at the seven-sixteenths, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung three wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late going. MULIMA saved ground near the rear, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and made no impact. BROUGHTY FERRY sluggish from the gate, chased with short strides early on bobbling twice before heading into the first turn, got placed to a protective hold and was guided outside continuing briefly into the backstretch before being able to be pulled up near the five eighths marker, then got walked off to the main track by outrider pony before being vanned off.
