FIDDLING FELIX coaxed from the gate, showed the way in hand just off the inside coming under encouragement five-sixteenths from home, spun three wide into upper stretch, inched away under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in under growing threat from flanking challengers inside the final sixteenth and dug in gamely to fend them off to the wire. GOOD LORD stumbled at the start and was bumped by ICAN into AMY'S MUSIC, chased four then five wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, tipped six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to issue a challenge inside the final sixteenth but was ultimately repelled to the finish. PLAYA DEL MAR chased two to three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths, cornered three then two wide into upper stretch, rallied up the inside to challenge inside the final furlong, dug in and was rebuffed to the end. AMY'S MUSIC got bumped at the start by GOOD LORD due to pressure from ICAN, chased three then four wide under urging from three furlongs out, went eight to nine wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. AMBRIDGE bobbled at the start, chased three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, continued three wide at the head of the stretch, weakened. SALMING four to five wide in pursuit, advanced through the latter portion of the turn given a notch to work with, got let out continuing four to five wide at the top of the lane, weakened in the stretch. ICAN broke in at the start bumping GOOD LORD into AMY'S MUSIC, chased along the inside under urging from the seven-sixteenths marker, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch, weakened.
