Chart notes

WATCH THIS BIRDIE settled well back three wide, gained ground in the three to four path around the far turn to offer a bid for the lead entering the lane, forged an advantage in upper stretch and drove clear. STRIKINGLY SPUN tracked the run-away leaders two wide, closed in on them around the far turn, bid in the three path along with an outer rival entering the lane, but was outkicked shortly after, failed to keep pace in the final furlong, met an outer challenge for place nearing the wire but lasted. NOM DE PLUME tracked along the inside, closed in on the tiring leading pair around the far turn, but was outmoved by an outer bidder while tipping two wide entering the lane, shifted further out in upper stretch, ran on in the final furlong to bid for place nearing the wire but missed. MO BILLS prompted two wide through a quick early pace, vied into the far turn, led turning for home, but was headed by a pair of outer bidders entering the lane and tired. BOLIVIE (IRE) trailed along the inside, then in the two to three path around the far turn and made little impact. ESSAOUIRA set a fast early pace inside of a stern presser as they separated themselves from the rest of the group around the first turn, got headed while coming back to the field around the far turn and weakened inside of a trio of rivals nearing the lane.
