Chart notes

LEMONCELLA SPRITZ sat alone watching the lead trio after the break, inched up on the fence down the backstretch, started to close the gap when nudged for more at the five sixteenths pole, was looking for a seam while three wide at the top of the lane, had clear run in the two path with a furlong to go and dug in late to get up inside in deep stretch. VRANA (IRE) prompted the pace three deep outside, measured the embattled duo while ranged up three wide around the bend, pounced in the four path by upper stretch to seize control at the furlong marker but could not find more late to fend off the winner outside nearing the wire. LA RONDE had a slow start to trail along the backside, still was at the rear but narrowed the gap with a half mile to go, made a mild run outside, three wide midway around the turn, loomed widest in the five path straightening for home but stalled a furlong from the wire to be a clear third in the end. MARYLAND SPIRIT pressed the issue between foes early on, chased the frontrunner outside along the backstretch, moved in to bid outside at the three furlong pole, fought up top in the two path turning for home, could not continue on late and faded on the fence with an eighth remaining to settle on the fringes. MEDUSA'S GOLD had its head in front down the back straight, edged clear on the rail by the half, battled inside head to head throughout the turn, gave way up top entering the stretch and wilted inside foes down the lane.
