Chart notes

MIA MITOLE advanced on the fence on the first bend to have a good spot down the backside tracking the front twosome while on the rail, sat behind the leader patiently being coaxed along waiting for the cue to move around the far turn, shot through inside having a big opening in upper stretch, darted up the fence by the furlong taking the lead, veered out when urged by a left-handed crop at the seventy yards pole but was clearing off by then for the win. BIG IMAGINATION (JPN) tracked the frontrunner on the outside early on, continued to hound the leader outside down the back straight, closed in making a bid on the inside pacesetter at the quarter pole, dueled between foes in the four path down the lane, kept on fighting to the very end but was outkicked by the winner in the late going. TOTALLY IN CHARGE settled between runners for the first half of this two-turn event, was asked for more right-handed by the rider but could not quicken with the front four by the quarter pole, shifted out widest moving to the six path for clear run at the furlong marker and had a good late surge in deep stretch to capture third while threatening at the wire for the place share as well. DESIGN DIVA took the overland route going five wide on the first turn sitting in midfield, progressed three deep down the backside keeping a close eye on the lead pair by the half, rallied outside going four wide on the far turn coming up the front duo by the quarter pole, shifted to the five path in the hunt at the head of the lane but stalled in deep stretch switching back to the incorrect lead shying away when the inside foe drifted out in the final seventy yards. RATINGS UPGRADE (IRE) shared the rear with the barn buddy inside on the initial turn, lagged behind down the backstretch on the outside, offered a mild spurt three wide passing a couple of rivals at the quarter pole, shifted out widest in the five path at the top of the stretch and finished up with some late interest. STRATOSPHERIC veered in sharply at the start, co-trailed with the stablemate outside on the first bend, improved slightly inside at the half, saved ground on the last bend at the quarter pole and offered a mild run on the rail in the stretch drive passing a couple of tiring foes. DAFINA was loose on the engine on the first turn, had company keeping her honest on the outside down the backstretch, was hard ridden being asked right handed trying to hold up front at the quarter pole, drifted out getting tired three wide in upper stretch when headed on both sides and folded while being checked mildly giving way between horses at the sixteenth pole. ALBIE FIRST had a poor beginning starting slow and breaking out leaving the gate, settled close to the back going four wide on the first turn, had a couple of runners beaten along the backside, showed little between foes part of the rear trio on the far turn and came up empty in the four path in upper stretch.
