Chart notes

WINIKA stalked prominently from the inside, tipped out on the second turn, moved up two wide into the stretch, collared pacesetter passing eighth marker, edged away under urging and safely held. CAVES settled inside, raced along the rail while well in hand to second bend, awaited room late on that turn, angled out in upper stretch then closed effectively in late stages. VELVET REIGN (IRE) grabbed early lead, rated on the front from along the fence, maintained cushion into the stretch, overtaken passing furlong marker, weakened bit from the inside late and lost the place. ALYN'S GIRL unhurried in early stages while steered to the inside, rode the rail to the second turn, shifted three then four wide into the lane and finished with interest.. AUTHENTIC GRACE chased early from the inside, continued on two path then between rivals, shifted four wide exiting the last turn, loomed in mid-stretch but did not sustain rally late. STORM LADY (GB) settled in two path, raced outside CAVES in middle stages, was caught three wide on the final turn then four wide into the stretch and lacked needed late response. ASTRONOMICALLY (IRE) chased while bit off the rail, continued on two path to second turn, shifted three, four then five wide into the stretch and did not threaten late. SUNNY CREED unhurried leaving the gate, lagged back from the inside, moved off the rail continued to save throughout and only passed tiring rivals. MEDINA DEL CAMPO (IRE) settled while slightly off the rail, continued two wide to the stretch and weakened. JUSTIVAR broke thru the gate prior, still broke sharply and prompted the early issue from the outside, continued three wide to second turn but had little left for the drive.
