Chart notes

CHOCOLATECHOCOLATE got bumped between foes at the start who each broke her way, chased two then three wide advancing on the leader to stack outside the top pair midway on the turn, came under coaxing near the quarter pole, went six wide into upper stretch, took over command with three-sixteenths to go and inched away under a drive kept to task. SNIDE broke out a step at the start bumping the aforementioned foe, came under hustling and showed the way in hand along the inside, got coaxed along at the seven-sixteenths and came under pressure from a pair of rivals midway on the turn, spun three wide for home, got collared with three-sixteenths to run and dug in under a drive running on to preserve the place honors, clear of the rest. SHEER WILL broke in at the start bumping CHOCOLATECHOCOLATE, chased three then two wide advancing between foes from midway on the turn, came under a ride nearing the quarter pole and spun five wide for home, dug in under a drive and weakened in the late stages. KATE BARRY chased along the inside and then just off the inside under a ride from the seven-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, tired. GOULDIAN chased five paths off the inside briefly before tucking to the two path with five and a half furlongs to run, came under urging three furlongs out, tipped three to four wide into upper stretch and trailed.
