Chart notes

MALLET LADY chased along the inside patiently handled until roused taking the inside route into upper stretch, rallied to take command just outside the eighth pole, drew clear under a drive to score. MISS MONEY PANTS coaxed from the gate, pressed the pace of BEACH LIFE from the outside three then two wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, swung three to four wide for home and seized command straightened away, dug in under threat and was caught just outside the eighth pole, ran on to chase the winner home clear of the remaining rival and along second best. BEACH LIFE broke in a step at the start under hustling, cut the pace from the two path under pressure from the aforementioned foe to the outside, tucked inside through the turn and came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths marker, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and yielded the front straightened away, then tired through to the finish.
