Chart notes

MS BRIGHTSIDE (IRE) unhurried in the beginning and moved inside, gained while moving into the two path around the far turn, angled out into the lane, rallied under left handed encouragement and edged clear in the final strides. BOTTLE ROCKET (FR) stalked the speed outside a rival, took aim three wide leaving the far turn, bid in the furlong grounds, brushed NANCI GRIFFITH late and edged that rival for second. NANCI GRIFFITH was closest in pursuit from the two path, roused still a bit off the rail on the second bend, challenged in upper stretch, took over at the eighth pole, outkicked by the winner in the final fifty yards, got brushed by BOTTLE ROCKET (FR) late and lost second. STEP IT OUT (IRE) grabbed the early lead and moved inside, set all the pace from the rail to the stretch, confronted by NANCI GRIFFTH shortly after, lost command at the eighth pole and flattened to fourth. GIRLCANTHELPIT dwelt at the start, trailed from inside, moved out in the lane and passed tired rivals. SHE'S SPLENDID stalked from inside, hugged the rail to the stretch and weakened in the final furlong. BLUE OASIS found the rail early and settled near the back, tipped two wide on the far turn, angled out leaving the bend and also weakened. THERE WAS A STEWARDS' INQUIRY INVOLVING BOTTLE ROCKET (FR) AND NANCI GRIFFITH IN DEEP STRETCH. FOLLOWING A REVIEW, THE STEWARDS RULED IN A MAJORITY DECISION THAT THE ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CONTACT BETWEEN THE TWO RUNNERS LATE, THE INCIDENT DID NOT WARRANT A DISQUALIFICATION AND NO CHANGE WOULD BE MADE. PER RULING #ECM2025-24 FROM HIWU, MS BRIGHTSIDE (IRE) WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM FRIST TO UNPLACED DUE TO A POSITIVE TEST.
