Chart notes

NAVAL WOMAN veered in at the break, causing a chain reaction to the inside recovered well enough to reach contention by the head of the turn, bid for the lead at the quarter pole, had to deal with a stubborn MY BOY VANDER for most of the stretch then edged clear late. MY BOY VANDER easily sized the early lead, was left alone to dictate he pace, with a pair of rivals pressing the issue to the outside, fought back when confronted by NAVAL WOMAN at the top of the stretch but gave way late while saving the place. TAPIT FIRST tracked four wide through the early stages, bid for the lead between horses passing the quarter pole, then produced a four wide late rally in the stretch to improve. SECURED was always prominent near the indie rail, rallied willingly up the rail in the stretch but was just not good enough for these. DUTTON STREET GIRL shuffled back at the start and was last away, continued to trail through the turn then rallied mildly to improve. OK BY ME raced mid-pack through the early running, struggled to keep up on the far turn then re-rallied but was never a threat. DIAMOND EMPRESS pressed/stalked pace early, went into a drive from the five-sixteenths pole and lacked a rally. LITTLE IRIS outrun through the early stages, went into a drive before the half and passed a few in the late stages. FLASH MASTER steadied at the start and was last away, moved forwardly down the backstretch and through the turn, then went one-paced in the stretch. ITTY BITTY BABY raced close up five wide into the turn, came under pressure after passing the three furlong marker and shrugged to keep up late. COMPETITIVE BOND ducked in after the start and lost the rider, was caught and walked off. THERE WAS A STEWARDS INQUIRY INTO THE START. AFTER REVIEW NO ACTION WAS DEEMED NECESSARY.
