HARDTOBLAME pursued from midpack in the four path, progressed three wide turning for home, bid while fanning out to the five path into upper stretch, forged an advantage approaching midstretch and held firm from an outer pursuer. VERSED brushed an outer rival leaving the gate before being brushed by an inner foe shortly after, settled off of the pace in the two path, gained between horses turning for home, swung out to the six path to take aim outside of the new leader in upper stretch, sustained his challenge through the final furlong but was kept at bay. BANKER'S JET showed the way along the inside, built a clear advantage approaching the nine sixteenths pole, but was caught by an outer challenger in upper stretch and gave way. FROSTED MUG lacked speed in the four path and moved up. BLYTHES FERRY was brushed by an inner foe at the start, pressed two wide, failed to sustain pressure approaching the nine sixteenths pole, chased between rivals around the turn, crept closer again along with an outer rival to offer a mild bid between horses reaching the lane, but tired shortly after. GRAY IS OKAY brushed an outer foe soon after the start, chased from midpack in the three path and between horses then faded. BRAVAZOMOSO broke a step slow and got brushed by an inner foe at the start, trailed in the two path and got outrun. TREBLEWITHTHECURVE leaned into an outer foe at the start, tracked along the inside, chased into the turn, then weakened while hanging on his left lead and was eased through the final furlong.
