Chart notes

MERCURY MARAUDER found position four wide for the run up the backstretch before finding room to angle along the rail and give chase through the turn, made a four wide move rounding the turn and surged ahead of the remaining foe to be well clear. MORELLA stalked the pace three wide, split runners at the three eighths to claim a brief lead until surrendering to the eventual winner in the upper stretch whom she was no match for. SAINTLY VILLAIN bumped outer foe at the start, tracked the pace four wide before ranging up through the turn but lacked the final kick needed in the stretch where she flattened out while drifting slightly. BINESI broke inward and bumped KEEN INTEREST, trailed distantly in the early stages, coaxed along through the turn in order to make some progress in the later stages. SUMMER MEMORIES showed the way along the inside under pressure until conceding at the three eighths and retreating. KEEN INTEREST got bumped between rivals at the start, raced off the pace until trailing at the five sixteenths, faded fast and was eased across.
