Chart notes

LIBERTY BEACH was fleet footed seizing control inside by the time they entered the backstretch, dictated terms up top unchallenged around the bend, spurted away just off the rail when called upon for more at the head of the lane and was kept to the task holding safely for the frontrunning score at the finish line. MARCH veered in sharply on the break, recovered being a little keen inside having to be throttled down behind the stablemate midway along the backstretch, took the short way around following the leader on the turn, shifted to the two-path posing the main threat at the top of the lane, kept coming on relentlessly separating herself from the rest of the field for the secondary position in the stretch drive, closed in slightly on the winner in the final furlong but just could not get there in time. SUNDAY FINERY broke out at the start, had a good spot outside another while watching the lead duo down the back straight, was urged midturn coming with a run four wide making a bid at the quarter pole, angled to the five-path turning for home and finished up mildly to win the show battle albeit a distant third behind the front pair at the wire. TOBERMORY was on the outside of the pacesetter keeping a close eye down the backstretch, chased determinedly around the turn keeping the frontrunner well within range, shifted to the three path in the hunt in upper stretch but evened out in the final furlong and just got nabbed on the outside in a tight finish for third settling on the fringes in the end. BITTER BULLET had the rail while sitting in mid-division, started to make a move closing the margin smartly three wide between foes at the quarter marker, moved to the four path between horses in with a chance for a piece of the prize but stalled in the last eighth of a mile. MANDALENA shared the rear on the outside, was roused but could not make any impression around the oval, shifted out in the four path for the drive to the finish line but could not get involved in the stretch running. ZAHARI co-trailed on the inside down the backside, saved ground making little progression throughout the turn, skimmed the fence at the top of the stretch but could only pass a weary outside runner in the final furlong. CHINOOK shied away from the outside rival that broke out at the start, had a stalking trip outside ahead of only a couple of rivals along the backside, offered a mild run on the turn narrowing the gap four wide at the quarter pole, could not sustain the rally and faltered between horses by the furlong marker.
