Chart notes

SKATINGTHROUGHLIFE stalked behind the leader early then fell out of range leaving the backstretch, hugged the rail to the stretch, moved off the fence in the final furlong and reeled in the runner-up approaching the wire. CYPRUS MOON sped clear to take control, took mild pressure from outer rival at the half-mile pole before clearing again, kicked away on the inside around the bend, put to right handed urging at the eighth pole, held a comfortable lead into deep stretch but grew weary late and got run down by the winner. TAHITI ITI settled off the rail, traveled two wide then along the rail on the turn, showed late interest and gained third while closing the gap on the top pair. WAY TOO SEXY broke a step slow, chased from off the pace, entered the turn along the rail, shifted to the two path midway around the bend, moved out in the lane and lacked a rally. SPANISH CARA (IRE) raced up close on the outside, took aim two wide through the turn but weakened in the drive. WICKED DESIRE raced greenly up the backstretch, traveled two wide into the turn, moved to the three path then chased two wide into the lane and had little left for the drive. CONSIDER HER LUCKY was off slow in the beginning, pulled the rider along at the back off the inside, rounded the turn three then two wide and was never a factor.
