Chart notes

SWIFTWIND broke on top, then was immediately joined by BLUSING BELLE to the inside, went together with that one into the turn, then put a head in front through the turn while confidently ridden, responded when set down in upper stretch, struggled a bit to put away the stubborn rival but edged clear in the final furlong. BLUSHING BELLE hustled up the inside to join SWIFTWIND on the front end, dug in when set down as they approached the quarter pole, took a short lead into the stretch, then gave way grudgingly under left-handed urging. BLING BABY was acting up in the post-parade and prior to the start, after the break settled to the outside in the second pair, moved up through the turn to threaten the leading pair at the top of the stretch, but flattened out and was unable to threaten. CAPETOWN CANDY raced inside as part of the trailing pair, then was unable to produce a rally in the late stages.
