Chart notes

ETERNAL HOPE (IRE) was last into stride, raced in the two path while unhurried at the rear, was roused while moving from the three path to the five path on the final turn, rallied six wide into the stretch, closed strongly to make a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, fought with the runner-up to the finish and narrowly prevailed under strong urging. NEECIE MARIE was hustled from the gate then taken in hand early, settled while inside to the two path, was urged in the two path on the final turn, gained three wide into the stretch, moved in while chasing into the final furlong, made a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, battled with the winner to the finish and just missed while able to get the place. SPEIRLING BEAG (IRE) settled in the two to three path, was asked while three then four wide on the final turn, rallied five wide into the stretch, closed well to make a bid inside the furlong marker but was outfinished late while able to get the show. HIGHLAND GRACE settled in the two to three path, was asked on the final turn, came four wide into the stretch, rallied to make a bid inside the furlong marker but was out-kicked and missed the trifecta. QUARREL showed in front early, was taken in hand when joined on the outside into the first turn, raced in the two to three path while placed under vigorous restraint on that bend, followed the solo leader while rated in clear second position, gained on the tiring pacesetter while moving from the rail to the three path on the far turn, took the lead while asked for her best in upper stretch, lost the advantage outside the sixteenth-pole and weakened. STEPHANIE'S CHARM went to the front entering the first turn, sped clear while in the four to five path on that bend, opened up a huge advantage, traveled around the second turn in the three then four path, continued with a very large advantage down the backstretch, shortened stride in the two path on the final turn, was collared into upper stretch and capitulated. LAST CALL settled on the inside, was urged along on the final turn and faltered.
