HOT LIST (GB) had inside position sitting in the middle of the pack patiently on hold, was nudged along at the five sixteenths pole starting to warm up for a run, moved out getting a seam in the four path between horses in upper stretch gathering more speed and drove past for the lead at the sixteenth pole outside from a stubborn rival to win going away at the finish line. CLEAR POSITION had a good spot isolated watching the lead pair along the backside, sat poised drafting behind the frontrunner waiting to move on the fence around the turn, darted through with a clear lane skimming the rail in upper stretch to have the lead at the furlong marker but just could not fend off the late charge outside by the winner in deep stretch. CHERVONARUTA bobbled slightly on the break to share the rear outside leaving the chute, offered a good charge circling around horses three wide at the three-eighths marker, shifted out widest, in the sixth path for the stretch run and finished up willingly to get up for the show money while well back of the lead two rivals at the wire. MY EMMY settled in midfield on the outside, began to edge closer with four furlongs remaining, was going in the wrong direction by midturn and came back on with some late energy on the fence to pass weary foes to be a fringe player in the end. HENNA GAL assumed command under a good hold, continued up top with only mild pressure outside early in the turn, was headed outside by the quarter pole, still maintained a slim advantage in upper stretch with runners bearing down on either side and weakened at the furlong pole getting nabbed in deep stretch losing a minor share. OUR LILLY was content to shadow the pacesetter outside in the early going, continued to hound the frontrunner still outside just off the fence in the turn running, moved in when asked for more at the quarter pole to bid three wide between horses turning for home but had little left for the late going and yielded to others in the final furlong. SOCIALLYANNALYZED co-trailed on the inside heading into the backstretch, lagged well behind the pack at the half mile marker, could not keep around the oval and lost touch with the field by upper stretch.

YOU AND ME BABY was bumped at the start, stalked up close from outside, took closer order three furlongs out, put a short head in front a sixteenth after, put away the inside foe then was headed by an outside rival in upper stretch, dueled with that one then retook command at the eighth pole and drew clear late. DJOSER stalked in behind the early leader switching out up the backstretch, moved three to four wide on the turn, bid in upper stretch drawing even or putting a very short head in front, was turned away and no match but just saved the place. ALFRED BELLOWS lacked early speed shifting in a bit to race toward the rear near but off the fence, edged a bit closer on the turn, came out in upper stretch then dove back inside for room, ran on well inside runners late to get up for show and narrowly missing place. WHERE'S SAMNBAILEY tracked inside from mid-pack, came out leaving the turn, was five wide in upper stretch, came in a bit in the lane, ran on but lost show honors. MY BOY BRUCE settled off the pace racing near inside but off the fence, went evenly and made no bid. LEMON TWIST was outside off the pace, fanned six to seven wide turning for home, was not a threat. DILWAALA was sent clear, set the pace inside, faltered and faded. MONDAY MORNING bumped a rival at the start, was ridden along at the back outside by the seven-sixteenths, was not a threat.

COST OF WAR broke out on the start, sat outside watching the pacesetter through the back straight, had an ideal set-up on the bend watching the embattled twosome slug it out, shifted out at the quarter pole coming with a run to loom four wide in upper stretch, drove by the stablemate who no doubt was softening up on the turn and won going away smartly at the wire. MYSTICAL DANCE dictated the pace along the backside, had company inside forcing the issue at the nine sixteenths pole, battled outside with another throughout the turn, narrowly remained up front in the two path in upper stretch, repelled the early speed foe onside by the furlong marker but could not dig down deep to fend off the winner outside who had an ideal trip during the race. HARD RIGHT was bumped inside on the break, settled in midfield outside foes in the three path along the backside, got to the rail throughout the turn moving up lengthening stride smartly by the quarter pole, angled pout four wide at the head of the lane with a good turn of foot, could not threaten the front pair who had it to themselves in the late going but nonetheless finished up solidly to be a clear third. CHASING MEMORIES travelled in the second flight while outside another, began to inch up while hard ridden on the bend at the quarter pole, moved to the five path, widest in the stretch drive and finished up evenly to come on late to garner a minor role from a tiring rival. HOWSITGOINOWEN had rail position tracking the front twosome early on, closed in on the rail to press the issue heading into the bend, dueled on the fence around the turn, scraped paint in the thick of things still turning for home but folded on the inside of runners in the last eighth of a mile. AU CONTRAIRE hopped up a few strides after breaking with the pack to trail in the beginning, stalked near the rear ahead of only runner travelling around the oval and could not get involved just off the fence in the drive to the finish line. MONEY TALKS was void of any early foot seeing the group with a half mile still to run, made no progression under a drive midway on the turn and could not be a factor in the four path in the stretch running.

SPLASH OF BOURBON pressed the issue in the beginning, took back off the speedy frontrunner watching that foe along the backside, moved comfortably appearing to measure the pacesetter around the oval, angled out to the three path having clear aim on the leader at the top of the stretch and tenaciously pursed that foe to the wire getting the better of her in the final seventy yards under a patient ride. RULE THE WAVES was fleet footed shaking loose along the backside, whistled along under a rapid pace uncontested throughout the bend, continued to move well in command on the rail in upper stretch but could not find a little bit in reserve to hold off the winner outside in deep stretch. REGAL AFFAIR was unhurried at the back of the pack, made no progression still seeing the field around the turn, began to pick up the bit on the rail sharply at the quarter pole, skimmed the fence with a sharp rally inside foes taking the corner to the stretch, found her best stride late and closed in considerably in the final furlong to best the rest easily for the show award when crossing the finish line. DEFINITE DIVA had the sitting in mid-division, rallied inside of horses at the five sixteenths pole, angled to the six path in tight between foes while fighting for a piece of the prize at the top of the stretch and ran on mildly to be a fringe player in the end. AVA'S PRINCESS settled outside a rival in range of the front two runners, continued to see the lead twosome still sitting outside another around the turn, was pushed out losing her path five wide in tight in upper stretch and could not be a factor afterwards. ALLURING AMY vied between runners initially, took back to watch the lead duo inside a challenger midway down the backstretch, had the rail still well off the front twosome unable to gain around the bend, was allowed to drift out to the five path at the top of the lane and failed to fire in the stretch drive. FRAC IS THE JUDGE stalked near the rear on the outside, offered a brief rally circling around foes in midturn, was forced out widest in the seven path at the top of the lane but failed to menace in the drive to the finish line. TABEI settled on the outside of another in mid-pack along the backside, could not keep up to rivals midpoint on the turn going in the wrong direction and had little to offer in the three path for the stretch running.

LADY ON THE NILE was forwardly placed on the rail just off the lead pair in the beginning, rated kindly in the second flight inside of horses along the back straight, closed the gap getting better position inside heading into the final bend, sat poised drafting behind the pacesetter at the quarter marker, pounced finding a seam splitting horses in the three path in upper stretch to have the lead at the furlong pole and was kept busy late to hold safe for the win. BEACH CRICKET settled on the rail in the middle of the pack, dropped back through the back straight to stalk ahead of only one runner at the half, unleashed a good rail rally midway on the last turn inside of runners, shifted out five wide posed the main threat at the top of the stretch but needed more late when unable to get to the winner in time at the wire. PERFECT RING was allowed to settle at the back of the pack, continued at the rear along the backside, started to close the gap taking the short way around the last turn, hugged the rail advancing sharply at the head of the lane and closed in well to easily best the rest at the finish line for the show award. CRUMLIN MOLLY settled in mid-division having runners on either side, was shuffled back along the backside, had to be checked in tight quarters leaving the three eighths pole losing all momentum, co-trailed on the outside with two furlongs remaining, shifted out in the seven path and had a good late turn of foot to charge home well in the final eighth of a mile to settle on the fringes. BIG IMAGINATION (JPN) travelled between runners in the middle of the pack along the backside, narrowed the gap on the frontrunner with the lead group bunching up at the half, travelled three wide under a ride keeping pace outside foes along the last bend, shifted to the five path for the drive to the line and finished up one paced sharing a minor role in the end with another. MALIBU BETTY had a stalking trip for the first half of this two turn race, offered a mild rally three wide between horses on the second turn at the quarter pole, shifted out the six path turning for home but failed to make a presence in the final furlong. BUTTERFLY BILLIE was away slowly to see the field in the beginning, progressed between horses on the initial bend, continued to range up four deep along the back straight, circled runners three wide on the last turn to bid for the lead at the top of the stretch, could not sustain the lengthy rally and weakened by the furlong marker. BOSS LADY J stalked close to the back with runners on each side early on, travelled four deep outside foes making little headway along the backstretch, put in a good circling rally four wide around horses when called upon four more midway on the final bend, swung out widest in the eight path at the head of the lane but lacked a rally through the stretch. UR HEART was content to track the frontrunner outside, settled just off the rail watching the lead duo at the half, could not hold position at the quarter pole when asked for more and made little impression three wide in the stretch drive. TIZARA controlled the pace up top on the rail in the early stages, remained on the front end by a slim margin on the fence in the final turn, was collared outside by the winner at the top of the stretch, offered little resistance by the furlong pole and faltered inside of horses in the late running. PARTY HOTLINE was eager to handle going out in the seven-path heading into the first turn in midfield, advanced four wide around rivals to force the pace three deep at the half, gave way fighting up top by the quarter pole between foes and emptied out in the five path by the furlong marker.
