Chart notes

TIZ MAGIC broke sharply and went a length clear, rated kindly under confident handling, was still in hand in mid-stretch, then was let loose in the last furlong and won clear as much the best. PALACEIN settled three wide mid-pack down the backstretch, advanced three wide through the turn then loomed a threatening presence at the top of the stretch, finished well under strong handling and outfinished the rest for the second prize. BANTERRA raced inside in mid-pack with the tracking group, saved ground through the turn and finished well up the rail under left handed urging and gained third in a blanket finish. ARTISTIC VISION was between horses through the early running, got clear run in the stretch and was gaining late but ran out of time. UPTOWNBLINGITHOME broke alertly and vied three wide early, was first to go after TIZ MAGIC passing the quarter pole, was unable to match strides, but kept on well under steady handling only to be outkicked in the final yards for a minor award. AZUNIA broke well but was unable to keep up with the early pace, dropped to last and outfinished a few tiring rivals in the stretch. RUMPUS outrun early, steadied into the turn then managed to pass a couple of rivals late. STACY'S RARE FIND broke in a tangle then rushed up to be close to the pace on the rail, took up sharply just before the five-sixteenths pole, dropped back to last and could not recover. LET FREEDOM BLING chased mid-pack three wide down the backstretch then hand nothing to offer in the stretch.
