Chart notes

HEY LIL LADY chased two wide leaving the backstretch, moved over to the three path with a quarter mile remaining, tipped four wide entering the stretch, bid four deep and put a head in front at the eight pole, then drove clear in the last sixteenth. EMPRESS MATILDA (GB) stalked the top pair from the fence, put in a rail bid at the top of the stretch and got outkicked by the winner. LLAMP sprinted to the front then showed the way under pressure from PRINCESS SNOW, maintained command through the turn, fought between rivals before giving the lead up at the eighth pole, remained close through the final furlong and was able to save third. WINIKA settled inside, moved into range around the bend, came off the rail at the top of the stretch but lacked room to rally behind the leaders, angled back inside and kept on to earn a minor award. CAMILA CATALINA trailed up the backstretch, raced outside a rival on the turn, swung widest approaching the stretch and flattened in the late stages. PRINCESS SNOW stalked for a bit then went up to press the pace from outside, stayed alongside the leader through the turn, fought in the three path turning for home and weakened down the lane.
