PHANTOM SLAYER pressed the leader from the three path, vied around the turn, assumed command entering the lane and drew off under moderate urging. CAN'T STOP WILLIS pursued from midpack in the four path, advanced turning for home then ran on to prove second best. D BIGALOW bumped with an outer foe at the start, talked along the inside, chased while moving out to the three to four path into midstretch and stayed on mildly. FAST JIMMY trailed along the inside around the turn then ran on willingly to gain fourth late. LIFE BOAT set the pace along the inside as the eventual winner applied outer pressure, proved no match entering the lane and faded. TAPIT'S GUNNER bumped with an inner foe leaving the gate, lacked speed near the inside, spun to the five path while between horses into the lane and failed to factor. TUXEDO PARK raced off of the pace in the five path, floated out to the six path entering the lane and failed to factor. STOIC SAGE broke outwardly, pursued from midpack along the inside, chased while moving out to the four to five path in upper stretch, failed to change leads and tired. GREYSTAR was bumped between horses at the start, tracked two wide then weakened between horses turning for home.
