Chart notes

FANTASTICAL broke out slightly on the start, was then pushed out five wide between foes from the inside rival into the first turn, after all that relaxed smartly in midfield outside another down the backstretch, sat poised inching up three wide outside around the final bend, had the three path in the hunt starting to make a rally with runners on both sides in upper stretch, moved four wide in the heat of battle outside the leader and closed in tenaciously late to get up for the win in the final jump. LUPA (IRE) was one of only a few that broke alertly having the lead inside early on, pulled at the rider who was trying to soften the pace while loose up top down the backstretch, settled into stride moving well up top around the far turn, hugged the rail holding on at the top of the lane, spurted away at the furlong pole feeling pressure outside kept fighting to the very end but just got caught in the last jump losing in tight photo for the all the money inside. FORTYFIVESEVENTY broke inwards getting tangled up with the inside foe on the start, recouped to have a good spot tucked in on the rail well in hand watching the lead front pair, sat forwardly placed watching the front three down the backside, inched up in hand at the five sixteenths pole, had the two path in the mix at the top of the stretch, dueled between foes three wide at the furlong pole, surged in deep stretch for the win but was on the losing end on a close three way photo for the win. GOLDEN SUNSHINE broke out on the start, settled on the outside close to the back end, had only one runner beaten along the backside, started to uncork a run inside two others on the rail with five sixteenths left to go, shifted out widest in the six path coming on, found more switching leads and gears at the furlong marker and charged home sharply in the late stages settling only on the fringes just back off the front three at the finish line. RASHMI was away well content to sit off the lone speed in the early stages, glided two wide outside to the frontrunner on the far turn, loomed boldly making a bid just off the pacesetter straightening out for the drive, was asked for more by the rider left-handed at the furlong pole very much in the conversation for the top spot but failed to fire late and was outfinished in deep stretch. DESIGN was sandwiched between runners trailing at the start, lagged behind the pack down the backside, took the short way around the far turn still seeing the field, cut the corner passing outside foes turning for home and finished up with interest closing the margin on runners in the final furlong. CRYSTAL VISIONS was well placed outside keeping an eye of the lead two runners, remained in the second flight outside down the backstretch, was roused for more at the five sixteenths pole keeping pace on along the final bend, shifted to the four path for the drive to the wire but wilted between foes by mid-stretch. SCAT GIRL tossed her head soon after leaving the gate, was forced out six wide on the initial bend, stalked in the three path outside horses along the back straightaway, was urged right-handed three wide at the three eighths pole unable to offer a rally and was fanned out six wide again by the inside foe turning for home giving way in upper stretch. HURRICANE CLAIR hopped up and over to the right getting mixed up with the outside rival on the break, became rank behind foes getting the kickback just before the turn, veered out sharply four wide with the rider trying to hold his lane into the first turn, had a couple beaten along the backstretch, was hard ridden making no gain at the three furlong pole and weakened in the five path at the top of the lane.
