AH JEEZ unhurried in the early going and settled in the two path, moved forward four deep, closed in four then three wide on the far turn, challenged three deep turning for home, quickly seized control drove clear from CALM SEA and held safely late. ENTERDADRAGON raced well off the pace a bit off the rail around the first turn, exited the backstretch three deep, went three then four wide around that bend, angled out in the lane, showed late run to earn second but could not threaten the winner. ZALAMO (FR) traveled outside a rival towards the rear, found the rail on the far turn, steered out at the top of the lane, finished well between rivals and gained third. CALM SEA prominent early outside the leader then took a stalking position on the inside, was closest in pursuit of the pacesetter up the backstretch, drew closer while losing second on the far turn, put in a rail bid entering the lane, was no match for the winner in the final furlong and flattened to fourth. GEOMETRY laid off the pace outside a rival, went three deep into the far turn, picked up stride around the bend, chased two wide approaching the stretch, angled out for the stretch run and also flattened out. GOLD FOOT reserved in the opening stages and steered to the inside, hugged the rail to the stretch and could not threaten. JIMMY BLUE JEANS chased from inside out of range, fell back to the middle of the field, closed in around the far turn and weakened in the drive. DON'T SWEAR DAVE stalked out of range in the two path, dropped off the pace, checked midway around the far turn and lacked a rally. EMPIRE'S CLASSIC trailed on the inside to the far turn, angled out at the quarter pole, came four wide into the stretch and was never a factor. CHARGE FOR GOLD sped clear and opened up a big lead, drifted out on the backstretch, carried a diminishing lead to the quarter pole. ONE OF THESE DAYS (IRE) laid well off the pace on the inside, eased out to the three path on the far turn and never got involved. PHOSPHORESCENCE (FR) settled in the two path, came under a ride on the far turn, moved out at the top of the lane, eased in the final furlong and walked off.
