HARD TO FIGURE sprinted to the front from outside then crossed over once in the clear, dictated the pace on the inside, ridden along into the lane, kicked clear in upper stretch under hand urging, given a tap from a right-handed downturned crop midstretch and coasted in late. SKYQUIST bumped with SPUN NOT STIRRED prior to the first turn, was forwardly place din the two path inside a rival, came under a ride on the far turn, could not make any headway on the winner down the lane but was able to outfinish IT'S A FACTOR for second. IT'S A FACTOR raced up close three wide early, continued to gave chase in the three path in tandem with SKYQUIST to the stretch, also could not summon the needed late kick to threaten the winner and got outdueled for the place honors. MIGHTY KAI was off slow to begin, trailed two wide early, raced outside a rival into the far turn, exited that bend in the two path and passed tired rivals. SPUN NOT STIRRED bumped between rivals before the clubhouse turn, brushed into the bend, settled three deep from the rail, traveled between rivals up the backstretch, found the rail on the far turn and weakened. BIGREDSANDRIBEYES tracked four deep or four wide on the first turn, chased three then four wide on the second bend and weakened. SPRINT OUT PASS stumbled at the start, brushed between runners into the first turn, dropped off the pace on the backstretch, rounded the far turn two then three wide and could not rally. MALIBU ROCKS brushed with outer rival into the first turn chasing on the rail, steadied shortly after, raced near the back in the middle stages, trailed briefly early on the far turn then passed a tired rival, went three wide into the lane and was never a factor. DON'T GET ME WRONG stalked the speed along the fence, lost ground under coaxing on the backstretch, dropped back to last on the far turn and tired.
