Chart notes

ANISETTE (GB) settled along the inside in range of the pacesetter, continued to save ground on the far turn, tipped out into the stretch, drew alongside BE YOUR BEST (IRE) at the eighth pole, took over approaching the sixteenth pole and drove clear. BE YOUR BEST (IRE) stepped to the front and dictated the pace in the early going, met the challenge from MUSICAL MISCHIEF with three furlongs left to run, put that rival away past the five-sixteenths pole, confronted by ANISETTE (GB) at the eighth pole, lost command shortly after and stayed on to secure the place. MUSICAL MISCHIEF closest in pursuit of the leader from the two path early on, put in a mild bid at the three-eighths pole, could not sustain the challenge past the five-sixteenths marker, chased two wide into the lane and kept on to hold the show. SAKURA FLAVOR (IRE) settled outside a rival, continued two wide on the far turn, moved out in the lane but could not summon a rally. ELOUNDA QUEEN (IRE) was content to trail a bit off the rail, gained along the rail through the far turn, cut the corner into the lane but flattened out in the furlong grounds.
