Chart notes

BODI ZAFA broke out at the start, then was allowed to settle, raced between horses in the second flight down the backstretch then moved forwardly when cued approaching the three furlong pole, bid three wide past the quarter pole into the stretch and finished well under steady handling despite racing on the left lead and won clear. JUST TRUST ME was always close up but content to stalk at the pace set by the early leader, went to challenge for the lead after passing the three furlong marker, gained the lead in mid-stretch but could not match the winner late. BITTERLY settled on the rail and tracked mid-pack, moved to challenge for the lead on the far turn, came under a drive but had the path blocked at the top of the stretch, kept to task to gain third but could not threat the top pair. WELCOMETOHOLLYWOOD had good early speed and vied for the lead through the first turn, turned onto the backstretch in front with several in close attendance, but was left to dictate the pace, led to the far turn then tried to step up the pace, dug in under a threat into the stretch but tired. STRIKING NOTES unhurried from the break and last into the first turn, trailed while being rated at the back of the pack, made a mild late run on the last turn but was only able to pass a couple of tired ones while finishing well behind the rest. BUTTERMAKER raced with close up with the tracking group through the early stages, started to fall behind approaching the quarter pole then tired in the stretch. DESERT BREEZE bobbled after the break then recovered and raced up close to the pace four wide through the first turn, then was three deep with the second flight down the backstretch, dropped out near the half-mile marker and was outrun the rest of the way and not persevered with when hopelessly behind.
