Chart notes

CITY GHOST was hustled away from the gate and gained a slight lead by the half-mile pole, led the field into the stretch and was taken on to the outside by BENDELENE, fought on under strong handling and kept that runner at bay to the wire in a stellar effort. BENDELENE was away well and tracked close three wide to the turn, ranged up late on the turn to bid for the lead, responded when set down in upper stretch, battled relentlessly with CITY GHOST for the length of the stretch but could not get by. MAMASHAVNAHOTFLASH tracked mid-pack while stuck three to four wide down the backstretch, bid four wide into the stretch and was mildly gaining under steady handling but was no threat to the top pair. YVONNE'S MISS settled at the rear of the main pack, bid four wide from the five-sixteenths pole, was put to a stiff drive but did not threaten. LET FREEDOM BLING vied between horses through the initial stages, then settled behind CITY GHOST for the run though the turn, was set down at the head of the stretch but flattened out a big before the last furlong. WICKED SONG lacked speed and was unable to keep up early, and trailed throughout. BRITISH EDGE got squeezed after the start, steadied and spotted the field a head start, then raced inside, had to wait for racing room on the turn then did not have a response when called upon in the stretch.
