Chart notes

OKARITO settled along the inside, then off of the rail around the far turn before swinging to the seven path entering upper stretch, rallied to bid outside of rivals at the sixteenth pole and drove past. QUIGLEY brushed with an inner foe leaving the gate, tracked two wide and between horses, shifted five wide in upper stretch, rallied while getting outkicked by an outer counterpart in the final furlong and forged place at the wire. CIRCADIAN tracked four to three wide, took aim from the four path in upper stretch, bid along with an outer pair at the sixteenth pole but got outkicked then missed place. AUTOMATIC PRESS set the pace along the inside, held sway in the two path leaving the furlong grounds but was caught at the sixteenth pole and yielded late. THE KING OF SOCCER (IRE) stalked along the inside, chased along the fence through midstretch, but lacked ample room in the final furlong and failed to bid. PLATINUM POWER was brushed by an outer foe at the stat, laid off of the pace in the two path then between horses around the far turn and failed to menace. MINED THAT GOLD brushed with an inner foe leaving the gate, took back from subtly tight quarters between rivals early on, settled in the three path, fanned to the seven path into the lane and failed to factor. GIOVANNI'S HEART pressed two wide, floated to the three path into upper stretch, failed to sustain pressure while hanging on her left lead between horses then faded through the final furlong. SWEETEN THE POT brushed with an inner foe leaving the gate, pursued from midpack while tucking to the inside around the first turn, continued to save ground around the far turn but to no avail. BANDOLIM brushed the starting gate upon leaving it and broke slow, lacked speed along the inside and made little impact. HARWICH PORT pursued from midpack in the three path, fanned to the six path entering the lane and faded. WHERE'S OTTO was off slow, trailed throughout and got outrun.
