Chart notes

PRACTICAL LOV brushed the off side stall at the start, raced four then three wide in closest aim of the leader, advanced to apply pressure through the turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, swung four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just outside the eighth pole, edged clear to the finish kept to task. FILLY FREEDOM bobbled at the break, chased four wide coming under a ride at the three-eighths, swung four then three wide for home, offered up a mild kick. GIN'S BEACH ROAD a bit fractious in the gate prior to the start, cut the pace just off the inside coming under ever increasing pressure from the top one through the turn while patiently handled, got set down spinning from the two path into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared just outside the eighth pole, then weakened in the late stages. TRANGO TOWER broke out at the start and was corrected before making contact with SOLO VINCERE, chased along the inside and then just off the inside under a ride from the three-eighths marker, angled five then four wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late going. RATU JAWA broke out at the start, chased five wide under prolonged encouragement from the half mile pole, tipped six wide for home and passed tired rivals to the finish. SOLO VINCERE coaxed from the start, chased three wide until tucked inside into the turn, got ridden along with seven-sixteenths to go, angled four to five wide into upper stretch and tired. BEDFORD THE BRAVE stomped the ground as the latch was sprung and was coaxed from the gate, raced four wide briefly until tucked inwards, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under a ride from three furlongs out, took the inside route into upper stretch and made no impact. CELESTIAL SPEED six paths off the inside early on, tucked to chase four then three wide coming under brief encouragement at the seven-sixteenths, cornered three wide into upper stretch and was eased home to the finish.
