Footnotes
REGAL TERKA was allowed to settle from the break, rated comfortably in mid-pack down the backstretch then was coaxed forward from the three furlong marker, took command at the top of the stretch then drew off to an easy win under a hand ride. MOON CAT got away well and was sent forward to bid for the early lead, was content to sit just to the outside of COASTAL BRINK down the backstretch with another rival just to the outside and the rest in close pursuit, vied between horses on the far turn, out a head in front passing the quarter pole then was overtaken by the eventual winner in upper stretch, finished gamely under strong handling and intermittent urging and just saved the place from a fast closing inside rival. BAREFOOT SAMURAI raced up close but boxed in for most of the early running, waited for room on the turn the was spinning wheels when clear in upper stretch, responded late to steady urging and surged late and just missed second. DOMINANT SPIRIT lunged at the start, spotting the field a bit of a head start, then went four wide through the clubhouse turn, settled last, three to four wide near the rear of a very compact field, chased through the turn then finished with some belated interest while not posing a serious threat. EXCAPING THE BLUES hopped in the air at the start then rushed up to vie for the early lead, went four wide through the first turn, stalked three wide down the backstretch, was unable to go on when the pace quickened from the quarter pole, came under strong handling and urging, came back on a bit but could not threaten. COASTAL BRINK was guided to the front from the break, emerged from the first turn with the lead heading down the backstretch, set a modest pace with the rest in close pursuit, maintained the lead into the turn then resisted when challenged near the five-sixteenths pole, led into upper stretch then weakened. GOLD PRIZE was last into the first turn, settled well behind the pace, became boxed in on the turn then stuck behind horses in upper stretch but could not summon a winning finish once clear. UPTOWN TAPPIN saved ground throughout, was always close up, lacked room and steadied mid-stretch and could not recover.
