MAYOR OF MIDNIGHT (IRE) bumped with a foe at the start, settled in the two path, was asked in the three path on the final turn, rallied in the four path into upper stretch and closed strongly to get up late and prevail. BE OF COURAGE bumped with an opponent at the start, dropped from the three path to the two path early on the first turn, was reserved of the pace, saved ground on the second turn, continued off the pace down the backstretch, rounded the final turn in the two path, turned into the stretch behind horses then was roused while finding room, gained into the final furlong, made a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, held the lead late but was denied while able to get the place. KIGALI contested the pace on the inside of a foe while inside to the two path, was given his cue on the final turn, led under a drive into the final sixteenth but was caught while able to get the place. MIZTERTONIC bumped with a rival at the start then steadied briefly in tight quarters, saved ground while reserved off the pace, steadied briefly with three furlongs to run, was roused in the two path on the final turn, spun into the stretch in the three path, dropped in under urging near the furlong marker and finished willingly for the last spot in the superfecta. FUERTEVENTURA broke out and bumped with a foe, stalked the pace in the three path, made a bid while asked on the final turn, dropped back under a drive into the final furlong and was out-kicked. WONDERFUL JUSTICE (GB) disputed the pace on the outside in the two to three path, was asked on the final turn, battled under a drive in upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened. IRWIN (IRE) raced in the three path on the first turn, moved in nearing the wire for the first time, settled inside from that point, was shuffled back behind OUTSOURCE on the final turn, was roused while shifting to the two path late on that bend, spun into the stretch in the three path and lacked the needed response. CLASSIC CREATION bumped with rivals on both sides at the start, was reserved in the two path, came under urging in the four path on the final turn, was driven into the stretch in the five path and failed to rally. MASTER PIECE (CHI) bumped with foes on both sides at the start, was taken back early, dropped to the rail early on the first turn, was unhurried at the rear, saved ground on the second turn, continued towards the back, moved closer with a half-mile to run, was roused in the three path on the final turn, turned into the stretch in the four path and failed to threaten. OUTSOURCE was rated towards the front on the inside, steadied against the rail with three furlongs to run, dropped back on the final turn and faltered then was eased in the final furlong but walked off.
