Chart notes

ROYA reserved ground the first half of the course, then bid on the far turn, came out five wide, then dug in gamely to close fast down the lane and was up at the wire to prevail. LUNA MOTH tracked the pace from the inside mid pack, was in a steady drive throughout the far turn, then rallied in the early stretch and was closing well just missing victory in the end. DESERT GLOW showed the way into the first turn, then battled with an outer rival down the backstretch and into the far turn, then kicked clear to gain command in the early stretch, then was surpassed by outer rivals in the final yards and was for the show prize. ANNIE'S SONG (IRE) tracked the pace from the two path throughout the first half, then inched up on the far turn to bid for the lead in the early stretch was in a hard drive before giving way in the end. ELLE OF THE BALL moved up from two path leaving the first turn, do duel with an inner rival down the backstretch and throughout the far turn, was used up in the upper stretch and weakened in the end.
