Chart notes

BOSTON'S PHINEST was rated just off the pace, saved ground on the turn, was asked near the quarter-pole, tipped off the inside in upper stretch, rallied to get the lead outside the sixteenth-pole and proved best under good handling. RATU JAWA settled at the rear under some urging, was roused in the three path on the turn, shifted to the five path over heels into the stretch, chased outside in the drive and gained with good courage to garner the place. ONLY FOR NOW broke out at the start, was rated on the outside without cover, tucked in for some cover late on the backstretch, was let out in the three path on the turn then roused outside the quarter-pole, spun into upper stretch in the four path, chased under a drive to the finish and lacked the needed kick but just earned the show. SOD SIREN (FR) established a forward position, prompted the pace on the outside then in the two path on the turn, was given her cue outside the quarter-pole, battled under a drive in upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and tired. ONE LAST KNOCK was hustled to the front then showed the way, vied inside on the turn, was asked outside the quarter-pole, battled under a drive in upper stretch, inched clear outside the furlong marker, was collared by the winner outside the sixteenth-pole and also weakened. STAR OF LIFE (GB) broke a half-step slow, settled while last but one, was roused in the two path on the turn, turned into upper stretch under the crop and failed to respond.
