Chart notes

THORPEDO ANNA brushed with an inner rival leaving the gate, led inside of a pair of prompters early on, remained in hand as WAYS AND MEANS sustained pressure around the far turn, shook clear of that one entering upper stretch as a wider JUST F Y I took aim, yet shifted out and edged further away in the final furlong. JUST F Y I tracked the leaders from the three path early on, moved forward to stalk outside of the top pair around the far turn, loomed a danger taking aim entering the lane, but only managed to chase the leader home while pulling clear of the rest to prove second best. REGULATORY RISK brushed with an outer rival at the start, pursued from midpack along the inside, tracked the main group from the three path while traveling well around the far turn, tipped to the five path entering the lane and ran on willingly. WAYS AND MEANS prompted outside of the top pair and from the four path around the first turn, sustained vying position tucking two wide around the far turn, but gave way between the eventual top pair entering upper stretch, then lasted for fourth. EVERLAND pursued from midpack two wide, then three wide and among foes around the far turn, then stayed on. POWER SQUEEZE lacked speed in the four to six path around the first turn and moved up. INTO CHAMPAGNE tucked while forwardly placed into the first turn to stalk from the inside, but chased the leaders turning for home and faded. LEMON MUFFIN broke a step slow and was floated inwardly by an outer rival at the start, raced off of the pace two wide and between horses, altered to the three path around the far turn, then improved between horses late. TARIFA broke cleanly but was a touch slow into stride and ended up towards the rear early, resented kickback and got keen behind rivals through the lane for the first time, laid off of the pace three wide before shifting to the five path entering the backstretch, got outmoved by a wider foe with three furlongs to go, brushed an inner rival turning for home and failed to factor. WHERE'S MY RING broke half a step slow, saved ground off of the pace, steadied behind a faltering foe at the three furlong pole, managed to slip inside of that one through very tight rail quarters turning for home, then lacked a bid. OUR PRETTY WOMAN brushed with an inner rival at the start, tracked in the six path around the fist turn, chased around the far turn and weakened. GIN GIN checked back inside of rivals early on to trail the field, took the far turn in the five path and made little impact. LESLIE'S ROSE brushed with an outer rival at the tart, stalked in the five path and weakened between horse around the far turn. FIONA'S MAGIC broke inwardly, vied two wide and between horses, but wilted with three furlongs to go and was eased through the lane.
