WORD PLAY (GB) stalked outside a rival, continued two wide leaving the backstretch, got floated out by the leader early on the far turn, angled inward and loomed two wide into the lane, took over in midstretch and stayed strong to the wire. DELIGHTFUL LAURA established the front and moved to the two path then found the rail, drifted out early on the far turn, returned to the inside, continued on the front into the lane, challenged by WORD PLAY (GB) to the outside, lost command midstretch but stayed on to the wire to secure the place honors. YELLOW SUN DRESS tracked between rivals in the two path out of range, asked two then three wide on the far turn and finished evenly late. STARTS NOW got crowded between rivals and steadied early, steered to the inside racing near the back, lacked room on the far turn, gained a clear path up the fence in the lane and earned a minor award. RUBY CANTU sat off the pace in the two path, exited the backstretch three deep, found some traffic three to four wide on the far turn, tipped out at the top of the lane and kept trying through the final furlong. MOTET stalked the pace on the inside, came under a ride approaching the quarter pole but weakened down the lane. THEBESTISYETTOBE (IRE) traveled outside a rival near the back of the pack, entered the far turn between rivals, chased two to three wide into the lane, steered out in upper stretch and failed to threaten. GRECIAN GODDESS laid off the pace on the inside, chased between leaving the backstretch, driven two wide into the lane, moved out in the drive and lacked a rally. SKATINGTHROUGHLIFE bumped leaving the gate, trailed while a touch rank into the first turn, traveled two wide around that bend, moved to the inside, swung out into the lane and was never a factor. BEETS settled inside, was ridden along the rail into the lane, tipped out at the top of the stretch and lacked further response. SWEET DELTA DAWN brushed leaving the gate, chased three deep in mid-pack, asked three wide on the far turn and came up empty in the lane. TRANSCENDING (IRE) was fractious in the gate, got bumped between rivals at the start, tracked outside a pair of rivals early on, got floated out early on the far turn, started to weakened around the bend, came five wide into the stretch and tired.
