WEDDING TOAST ducked in slightly at the break, was grabbed hold and then given some light hand encouragement as motivation, rushed up using her own power to establish control, sailed along entrenched tin the two path, started to kick away from the closest pursuers, all of whom were being asked for run during the later stages of the run around the bend, drew off decisively when asked for some run from upper stretch to a short distance past the eighth pole, extended the margin handily thereafter.

REAL ESTATE contested the pace from the outside, was between rivals entering the stretch, failed to keep up with the winner, salvaged second. HE'S SO CHIC lunged taking his initial step out of the starting gate, raced from off the inside, mostly two wide on the turn, swung five wide into the stretch, rallied belatedly, just falling short of garnering the place. LUXURY APPEAL argued to maintain a slim advantage being pressed by the second place finisher, kept at a slight distance from off the inside, had the pressure intensify when the winner arrived on the scene with a few strides remaining during the run around the bend, yielded for good travelling through the furlong grounds and steadily faltered thereafter.
