Chart notes

NEOM BEACH stalked three wide, bid and vied around the far turn, gained an advantage turning for home, shifted out as an outer rival inched closer entering the final furlong, straightened out momentarily before drifting again in the final sixteenth, yet held sway. YES TO CHAMPAGNE prompted two wide, vied between horses into the far turn, got outmoved by her outer counterpart nearing the lane, tipped out to retake aim outside of that one in upper stretch, inched closer nearing the final furlong, but was floated outwardly at that juncture, kept on to sustain her bid through the final furlong but was kept at bay. FANTASTICAL set the pace along the inside, vied with a pair of outer bidders around the far turn, got headed turning for home, sustained pursuit through upper stretch, shifted off the inside nearing midstretch before shifting back inwardly as the leader drifted out at the furlong grounds, but lacked a rebid and gave way. VOICE FROM ABOVE broke half a beat slow, laid off of the pace in the two path and failed to menace. ADRASTEIA trailed in the four path and was outrun.
