SWEET LAZARUS veered out at the start and made contact with ARAUCANO leaving the break, took early command and set a decent pace along the backstretch, was pressured from the inside heading into the turn by FINAL PAYMENT, shook free of that rival and dictated terms to the quarter pole, drifted out to upper stretch then held off foes nearing the furlong grounds, kept to task to the final sixteenth and held safely late for the win. EXPERT WITNESS settled just off of the early pace and tracked along the backstretch, angled out along the turn, ran in pursuit from the five to six path to upper stretch, closed willingly into the final furlong, could not reel in the winner in deep stretch and held late for the place honors. FINAL PAYMENT raced close up to the early pace, stalked from the inside along the backstretch then went up to press SWEET LAZARUS heading into the turn, was turned away into the bend then re-bid between rivals nearing the top of the lane, stubbornly battled into the final furlong, was outkicked in the final sixteenth and was well clear of the rest for third. TEMPERATURE RISING settled off of the early pace, coaxed three wide to upper stretch, needed more in the late stages and finished evenly. ARAUCANO got bumped at the start but was away in good order, raced close up to the early pace and tracked three deep heading to the half-mile marker, chased to the quarter pole, got floated out nearing the top of the lane then angled in to upper stretch, could not find more at the furlong grounds and weakened. UFO (PER) lost his path at the start and was off slowly, was allowed to settle and saved ground into the turn, angled out to upper stretch and was able to improve position in the drive but did not threaten the leaders late. BONFIGLIO was unhurried in the early going, ran in pursuit from the rail then from the two path nearing the quarter pole, lacked the needed response to upper stretch and did not factor late. LAO WAY allowed to settle early, raced outside of rivals heading into the turn, coaxed four wide to upper stretch and did not make a late impact.
