Chart notes

TELEKINETIC was allowed to settle from the break, then was content to track mid-pack to the far turn, started to run on with three furlongs to go, loomed four wide at the top of the stretch, had trouble changing leads and lugged in under a heavy drive, but finished best to win clear in the end. TAPS MISTRESS ranged three wide through the first turn, stalked the pace three wide to the far turn, went to challenge for the lead after passing the three furlong marker, engaged in a three-way battle down the stretch, took short lead with a furlong to run but could not hold off the winner. SCHOOL TEACHER was far back through the early stages, then rallied late to be along for third while no threat to the top two. SHAKE THOSE DICE was a bit keen early, then settled down and rated mid-pack down the backstretch, responded when cued to go on the far turn, loomed at the top of the stretch then was unable to sustain the bid and finished evenly. GOLLY HOLLY settled into a tracking position along the rail and was content to sit behind the early pace for the first half mile, was asked to go on leaving three furlong pole, loomed a big threat approaching the top of the stretch then flattened out. MIZZ FACTOR gained the lead going into the first turn, held a slight advantage while being pressed by a pair of rivals to the outside through the early stages, fought back when challenged on the turn, then battled inside down the stretch, gave away in the final furlong and weakened. SHERRYS RIDGE raced near the rear of the field and showed little interest. MAKIN A BEELINE raced mid pack for the first half mile then started to drop back on the far turn, and was no factor late. IMAGOLDENSONG showed good speed from the break and vied inside going into the first turn, emerged onto the back stretch in a stalking position, was under a drive to hold position to the far turn then tired in the stretch.
