Chart notes

GOWELLS DELIGHT settled off the early pace, advanced to stalk moving four wide on the turn, was carried out in the stretch but kept on late to edge past. BLUE FIRE bumped with the outside foe at the start then promptly moved clear, set the pace from off the rail in hand, came out in the stretch to face an outside challenger but had no extra, just saved the place. UNION MIST was bumped between foes at the start, settled mid-pack off the rail in the two to three path, angled out nearing the quarter pole coming into upper stretch six wide, kept on gaining steadily late but missed second. AMARTH chased the pacesetter from outside, was encouraged along by the half, went three wide on the turn, ran on evenly in the stretch. BEING MYSELF bumped the inside rival at the start, settled outside at the rear racing three wide into the turn, swung seven wide into upper stretch, shifted in a bit in mid-stretch and kept on gaining late but was not enough. RANDO tracked inside saving ground but was one-paced and not a late threat. VINO TIEMPO lacked early speed racing near the inside, was never a threat. PRINCESS ALIYAH was bumped between foes at the start, raced toward the rear near the inside, was not a threat and eased through the lane.
