Chart notes

LOTS OF KISSES got brushed at the start by MIEL ET CITRON, chased four then three wide patiently handled until roused angled seven wide into upper stretch, closed well outside to collar the front nearing the sixteenth pole, then edged clear to the finish to prevail. BENGALESE vied four then three wide with a pair of rivals to her inside, seized command nearing the quarter pole and got let out spinning five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive under threat and was caught outside the sixteenth marker, ran on to just secure the place honors by a neck over a rival on the line. SWEET MACKENZIE coaxed from the gate, chased three then two wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, angled six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. KEY ACTRESS broke out a step and traded a bump at the start with ILENA'S KAZ WAY, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch, kept on one paced to the finish. R P BYRNE (IRE) established the front shortly after the start leading very early on before being confronted by a pair of foes half a mile from home, vied inside a pair of rivals through the turn, had ILENA'S KAZ WAY come inwards and was bounced off the temporary rail just outside the five-sixteenths pole, had that same rival tighten the inside once more near the quarter pole and paused inside, took the two path into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. MIEL ET CITRON struck the off side stall at the start and then brushed LOTS OF KISSES, chased just off the inside and then along the inside, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, offered no response. SOLAIA chased four then three wide under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, angled six wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then flattened out in the late going. ILENAS KAZ WAY traded a bump with KEY ACTRESS when breaking inwards, advanced after the start and vied from the two path between rivals through the turn, seized narrow command near the five-sixteenths and came inwards slightly bumping R P BYRNE into the temporary fence, then came in tightening up the inside near the quarter pole just after being displaced from command before tipping three wide into upper stretch and weakened. KATERINA RISTOVA brushed the near side stall at the start and was away last, chased along the inside under a ride from the seven-sixteenths marker, went three wide into upper stretch and trailed throughout.
