PALACE ALEX with the pace from the start, vied three wide up the backstretch and into the turn, angled in a bit and dueled into the lane, put that rival away past the furlong marker, clear late, enough left to hold the next two safe at the wire. PAROLE DRAMA moved up to race in the second flight while three wide after breaking back, asked along late in the turn, idled a bit through upper stretch, late push outside the winner, getting to that one in the waning strides. ZONG'S FAVOR back off the pace and the inside, three wide into the turn, two path exiting, roused, rallied willingly and also finished well while between the top two at the wire. OCEAN VOYAGER broke on top, narrowly showed the way up the backstretch, dueled with the winner into the stretch while remaining inside, yielded to that one approaching the furlong grounds, continued to weaken to lose additional position. I BET YOU WONT off the pace while well out in the strip, five wide into the turn, fanned six wide exiting, went evenly to the wire in lacking a closing response. STRAY LIGHTNING broke well, contested the pace four just under a half while between horses, first to blink late in the turn. DIXIE STRONG broke inward and back, continued to lag into and through the turn, came four wide for the drive, picked off a couple of tiring rivals while never a threat. HAPPY SEASON behind the lead pack well off rail, four to five wide through the turn, tired down the lane. CODE OF PARAPLUIE in mid pack off the inside, in traffic between horses late backstretch three wide, moved to the rail by late in the turn, backed up through the stretch.
