Chart notes

MARS MAGIC tracked between rivals early then from off the rail, went two wide into the turn, drew closer but had to pause behind a wall of rivals late on the bend, continued to lack room at the top of the stretch, altered out and surged clear. DARLIN TAMI chased two wide into the turn, angled out and challenged the top pair from outside at the quarter pole, fought four wide turning for home, took over in upper stretch but was outkicked by the winner in the furlong grounds. SKATINGTHROUGHLIFE sat off the pace in the early going, gained three then four wide on the turn, tipped out wider in upper stretch but flattened out in the late stages. NEWPORT DREAMZ raced in mid-pack while steering to the inside, crept closer around the bend, came off the fence but lacked room inside the eighth pole, altered out for a clear path and kept on to earn a minor award. SEI BELLA chased the speed from inside, put in a rail bid at the top of the lane but flattened out in deep stretch. ALOHA DREAMIN showed the way under some pressure from WILLOW COVE to the outside, maintained a short lead through the turn, came off the rail a bit leaving the bend, lost command in upper stretch and weakened. WILLOW COVE pressed the pace from outside up the backstretch and around the turn, gained command briefly in upper stretch but was quickly overtaken and faltered in the late stages. BOOSTER CLUB lept onto the dirt then crossed awkwardly back onto the turn, raced well off the pace on the inside and failed to menace. PRETTY CECY traveled outside rivals at the back, moved into the two path on the turn, came three wide into the lane and failed to make an impact. FREYA raced inside rivals near the back early, trailed off the rail into the turn, went two then three wide around the bend and was outrun. GIRLCANTHELPIT dwelt at the start and spotted the field several lengths, trailed up the backstretch then went inside a rival approaching the turn, had to check behind a rival early on the bend, moved off the fence in the stretch and never threatened. CLOUDY ROSE was antsy in the gate, traveled between rivals towards the rear early, went two wide into the turn, found the rail around the bend, came off the rail a bit approaching the stretch and was never a factor.
