Chart notes

LIFE CHANGING coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand just off the inside, got roused taking the two path into upper stretch, went clear under a drive and was geared down in the final strides to the finish. JUDY'S ROCKETTE stumbled at the start, chased along the inside and then just off the inside, tipped out to the three path placed to coaxing at the five-sixteenths marker, went three to four wide for home, dug in under a drive, proved no match for the top one while keeping on to the wire to be along safe for the place. FIRST SITE bobbled at the break and recovered outwards, got corrected and tucked in to the three path, chased three wide, was between rivals when appearing to want to get out and brushed with FLIGHTRESS inside the three-eighths, the rider taking a light hold and pausing in the saddle, had JUDY'S ROCKETTE slip in front with five-sixteenths to go and continued under a hold until swinging five wide into upper stretch having lost some ground, came under a ride once more once straightened away into upper stretch and came again to secure the show honors. VIRABHADRASANA chased four to five paths off the inside early on until tucked to the two path with nine-sixteenths to go, went three wide through the turn coming under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, angled out eight to nine wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. WYNA chased just off the inside down the backstretch, tipped three then four wide through the turn coming under coaxing three furlongs from home, went seven wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. FLIGHTRESS coaxed from the gate, chased three to four wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, continued three to four wide into upper stretch, tired. AMELIA IN AIR chased just off the inside and then along the inside coming under encouragement three furlongs out, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then tired through to the finish. FAIR PRACTICE coaxed from the start, chased four then three paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked to the two path through the turn and got pushed along at the three-eighths marker, cornered three wide into upper stretch and tired. CHARLOTTE'S BEACH struck the off side stall at the start and buckled, chased along the inside and then just off the inside, tipped out near the three-eighths pole and went five wide inside that station under urging, swung six wide at the top of the stretch and tired. MAYBE IT'S DESTINY coaxed from the gate, chased four then five wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths pole, went eight to nine wide into upper stretch, tired.
