Chart notes

MADAM GWEN settled on the fence in midfield on the initial bend, dropped back slightly down the backside, was roused finding room splitting horses sharply in the two path at the quarter pole, angled out five wide full of run in upper stretch and charged home outside horses to wear down a determined frontrunner in the final seventy yards. MCKENZIE ROAD was uncontested up top for the early parts of the race while setting only a moderate pace, had company on the outside by the quarter pole, repelled the brief challenge still moving well by the furlong pole, ran on to the wire stubbornly down the lane but gave way to the winner grudgingly while inside in the final seventy yards. BEAUTIFUL SKY took the overland route going five wide outside horses trying to circle around horses on the first turn, tracked the lead pair going three deep down the backside, moved in through the final turn making a bid for the lead three wide with a quarter mile from home, could not sustain the rally by the furlong marker unable to match strides with the front two in the late running but did finish up well enough to hold for a clear third at the wire. POWAQA had a stalking position ahead of one runner for the first part of this route race, began to reach for more ground at the quarter pole in the four path outside foes, swung out seven wide with momentum at the top of the lane, found her best run late and closed in to be a fringe player in the end. BLACK DAGGER was allowed to settle into stride trailing the field early on, could not gain on rivals down the backside, lagged well behind through the last turn and found something more outside horses to pass weary foes in the final eighth of a mile. NICKI IS A BREEZE was content to track the leader outside on the first turn, moved well in hand still sitting outside in close range of the pacesetter down the backside, was asked right-handed in the hunt up top between rivals at the quarter pole, offered little response by the top of the stretch and weakened inside horses two wide at the furlong marker. MRS. HOT SHOT was situated in midfield between horses in the four path on the first bend, moved closer to watch the lead twosome while having rivals on either side down the backstretch, came under a ride trying to hold position midway on the far turn, had little to give for the drive and folded six wide in upper stretch. SEVEN P R C sat on the rail just behind the frontrunner early on, tracked the lead duo inside others down the back straight, was scrubbed on for more run with five sixteenths still to go but was going in the wrong direction by the quarter pole and faltered inside runners just off the fence at the furlong marker.
