NATIONAL ECLIPSE stalked three wide, bid into the turn, vied in the forged an advantage while being floated to the four path entering the lane, brushed with his inner counterpart shortly after, maintained a margin through midstretch, shifted inwardly while gamely battling with an inner challenger in the final sixteenth and narrowly held. DAI VERNON trailed in the two path, inched closer in the two to three path around the far turn, shifted inwardly to take aim inside of the leading pair passing the three sixteenths pole, rallied to offer a rail bid at the sixteenth marker, dueled with an outer rival late but missed. NEON NIGHTS prompted two wide, vied before leading as an outer rival offered a bid entering the far turn, sparred with that one before being headed entering the lane, fought on in the three path through upper stretch, then between horses into the final sixteenth and yielded late. MENA tracked along the inside, retreated to trail around the far turn, shifted six wide in midstretch then improved position to reach fourth at the wire. ONTHESTAGE tracked from the three to four path, inched closer under a drive around the far turn, took aim outside of the leaders and from the five path entering the lane, sustained his challenge while hanging on his left lead through midstretch but flattened out while changing leads at the sixteenth pole and gave way late. J B STRIKES BACK led narrowly while vying with an outer rival down the backstretch, got headed when inside of a pair of foes into the far turn, yielded with five sixteenths to go then faded.
