Chart notes

ZODIAC BEACH was unhurried stalking close to the back in the early going, still remained at the rear heading into the turn, began to pick up horses three wide on the outside at the quarter pole, gathered more momentum swinging out widest having clear run in the eight path at the top of the lane and with a strong late kick got up late under a well timed stretch rally. LEGALLY CHARITABLE travelled inside horses in mid-pack, kept pace while between foes in the second flight through the turn, found her best stride late in the four path turning for home and just missed at the wire for the win. SMILES FOR DAVID settled inside horses in mid-division, dropped back to last on the fence around the turn at the quarter pole and had a sharp late surge on the rail with a furlong from the finish line to be a clear third when crossing the wire. MRS. HOT SHOT had a tracking position on the rail, waited in hand on the turn behind the contesting trio, shifted out off a tiring rival midway around the turn, angled back inside to the fence in upper stretch to be in the hunt, took over control for a brief moment with an eighth left to run but could not fend off the closing runners in deep stretch and faded for a minor share in the end. BEAUMONT DRIVE was allowed to settle at the rear in the beginning, made a big swooping move five wide at the quarter pole passing foes, loomed a menacing presence seven wide for the stretch drive, could not sustain the rally and stalled with a furlong left to go. HYPER AWAKENING was rank while pressing the issue three wide battling up top down the back straight, continued to force the pace three wide around the bend, shifted out five wide in the mix with others in upper stretch but could not quicken with runners late and gave way at the sixteenth pole. NOW YOU SEE ME stalked in the third flight three deep, closed the gap travelling three wide outside horses on the turn to be in with a chance for a share six wide at the top of the stretch but lacked a rally the final furlong and could not pose a threat late. FOREST VIXEN was fractious in the stall prior to the start, vied between runners at the half, assumed the lead in the two path between horses three furlongs from the finish line, dug in stubbornly clinging onto the lead in the three path in upper stretch, had little left to offer late and tired in deep stretch. GOLD FORESTER seized the lead at the start taking this field along the backside, was roused when collared outside with three furlongs to go offering no response, backed through the field on the fence around the turn and emptied out on the rail in upper stretch.
