ROYAL GUARD settled in the two path, gained in the four path around the far turn, bid while hanging on his left lead leaving upper stretch, changed leads after taking charge at the furlong grounds and kicked away. WAR AND MAJESTY prompted two wide, vied around the far turn, dueled through upper stretch but got outkicked at the furlong grounds and secured place. COMPREHENSIVE showed the way along the inside, vied with an outer rival around the far turn, dueled through upper stretch, got outkicked by a wider bidder in midstretch, flopped back to his left lead and yielded shortly after yet saved show at the wire. LAHAINALUNA lacked speed in the two path, bumped an outer foe while moving to the four path entering the lane and rallied to miss show. PAYTON'S HAMMER saved ground in midpack, shifted three wide and between horses in upper stretch but lacked a bid. MAXIMUS PRIME trailed along the inside, moved up in the final furlong then was transported off of the track in an equine ambulance. T V CHANNEL pursued from midpack two wide and between horses, then along the inside around the second turn, chased in the three path and between horses around the far turn, got bumped five wide entering the lane and tired. INGLEBOROUGH raced forwardly four wide early on, tracked in the two path around the second turn, chased around the farrturn then tired between horses. POWER OF WILL stalked from the three to two path, chased along the inside around the final turn then faded. ASTAR pulled in the four path while midpack around the first turn, but was done early, eased around the far turn, pulled up in midstretch then walked off.
