Chart notes

EXCLUSIVE STAR , nudged to the front after about a furlong, secured the inside and set a rated pace while handling outer pressure, edged clear past the five eighths, spurted away within herself near the five sixteenths, was given a right handed ask inside the furlong grounds then held firm while steadily hand ridden through the final sixteenth. ONTARIO stalked inside, steadied briefly when in a bit close inside foes near the five sixteenths, shifted out, chased on her left lead through the final furlong and finished gamely. SY B settled off the pace while saving ground, idled behind foes into the far turn, angled out with progress into the lane, worked between foes then back in and kept on with interest. QUEEN WILHELMINA , taken to rate, edged up three wide outside runners into the far turn, chased the winner from there but came up empty in the final furlong. MALIBU SMART was rated back early, settled off the pace, angled out into the lane but failed to make an impact. CHANNEL CHECK (GB) stalked outside a rival, eased out some leaving the far turn and was put to pressure, shifted out four wide into the stretch, lacked a punch in mid stretch and faded. COMPETITIVE THREAT (IRE) pressed outside the winner, stayed on after that one cleared, pursued between runners into the stretch then weakened through the final three sixteenths. SUPER STORMY , taken back and angled in early, was a bit tough to settle while well off the pace, swung out for the drive but failed to make an impact.
