Chart notes

TWO SHARP showed good early speed and was clear and moved to the inside entering the turn, well handled on the turn and cut the corner leaving the turn and was given a couple left handed pops with the crop leaving the furlong marker and responded well and then was give a couple more to prove much the best in a sharp effort. BENEDETTA transferred firm contact from an inner rival to an outer foe at the start and was away a step slow, settled early and advanced two wide on the turn and came three wide off the bend and finished willingly to gain the place award. HOPE ROAD was bumped at the break, chased the winner and made a mild bid two wide leaving the turn but flattened out. BRIGHTWORK chased the pace on the inside and saved ground on the turn but lacked the needed winning bid while racing evenly. MINK'S PALACE chased the pace and was three wide on the turn and weakened. MISS ARLINGTON was bumped and squeezed back at the break, settled back early and two wide on the turn and was not a factor. INTO CHAMPAGNE broke outwardly and bumped a foe at the start, trailed along the inside and got outrun.
