Chart notes

COMBAT MOVE settled comfortably off the pace, was roused in the two path on the turn, rallied under a left-handed crop in upper stretch, chased into the final furlong, drifted from the two path to the rail inside the furlong marker, closed strongly under a hand-ride to get the lead inside the sixteenth-pole then went clear while pricking her ears late. GALWAY GURL broke out and bumped with a foe, showed speed on the inside of LIVELY PAL and dueled with that foe early, was taken back off the pace outside the half-mile pole then switched out, chased in the two path on the turn, gained in the three path into the stretch under a left-handed crop, took the lead at the three-sixteenths pole, shook clear outside the furlong marker then was switched to a right-handed crop, was guided in closer to the winner while still in front into the final sixteenth then was overtaken but was well clear for the show. LIBERTY'S ADVANCE settled on the outside, went around the turn in the three path, was roused late on that bend, turned into the stretch in the four path and lacked the needed response while clear for the show. LIVELY PAL was bumped at the start then hustled, showed speed and dueled outside of GALWAY GIRL early, went clear when that foe was taken back outside the half-mile pole, raced inside on the turn, was asked near the quarter-pole then put to the crop into upper stretch, lost the advantage at the three-sixteenths pole and tired. MY LIL ARMY GIRL broke out and hit the gate while off half-step slow, was urged along at the rear, went around the turn in the two then three path, was driven into the stretch in the four path and failed to respond.
