Chart notes

PINK LADY LU SHA was allowed to settle from the track, content to track from off the pace three wide, launched a bid approaching the quarter pole then quickly took command turning into the stretch then went unchallenged to the wire to win clear. ALEXAPLAYBORNTORUN broke best and dueled with MISCHIEF ANGEL through the early stages, got free of that one heading into the turn and went two lengths clear, was overtaken by the winner with no resistance at the quarter pole but kept on be second by a clear margin. COMMERCIAL FLASH broke well, raced close up inside through the initial stages then dropped back to a tracking position before the turn, came under a ride from the three furlong pole, kept to task on the inside and outlasted the rest to just hold third. CECE WAVE off a step slow, could not keep up with the early pace, chased inside in last but not far from the front, shied at the seven-sixteenths marker when MRS. NECAISE came over aggressively, recovered rhythm then rallied late to improve while never a serious threat. MISCHIEF ANGEL pressed ALEXAPLAYBORNTORUN from the inside to the turn, was unable to go on with that one from the 7/16, was put into a stiff drive but had little to offer in the stretch. MRS. NECAISE missed the break and spotted the field a head start, became hard to handle passing the half mile pole veered in sharply at the seven-sixteenths marker threatening to put CECE WAVE into the rail, continued to be rank and was eased to the finish line and walked off.
