PLAYING HARDBALL broke sharp, set a solo pace around the turn, widened leaving the quarter pole, held sway driving for the score. UNCLECHARLIESGIFT rated off the pace and off the rail into the turn, knifed inside rivals leaving the three eighths marker, steadily moved off the rail into the lane, chased on late second best. MIDNIGHT PRANKS slow into stride, upped the tempo split foes twice around the bend, found a clean lane four wide approaching the furlong marker, chased on willingly for the show. HUEY DUEY chased the pace inside into the turn, tipped out five wide for clear run into the lane, evened out through the final sixteenth. VIOLENT RIVER chased the lead group four wide into the turn, lopped out eight wide into the lane, had no late kick. SLAVA UKRAINI slow into stride, saved ground off the pace, steadily worked off the rail through the lane, had no late impact. LOUDTHUNDRHEVYRAIN broke alertly, pressed between runners into the turn, clean lane three wide around the bend, gave way through the stretch. LEAVING SHADOWS chased between runners into the turn, roused on leaving the quarter pole, weakened through the lane. DR. NIKO veered out at the start, raced off the pace five wide into the turn, never threatened. BAD BRAD pressed four wide into the turn, under pressure around the bend, faltered through the stretch.
