ITALIANO KID relaxed stalking outside a keyed up rival, moved up under a ride and went on the attack leaving the three eighths, forged clear three wide into the lane, kept on under strong handling past mid stretch and held sway. RETURN FIRE , three wide to the lead, cleared around the first turn and set the pace towards the inside, ceded command leaving the five sixteenths, dug in with pursuit from the head of the lane and finished gamely to save the place. TRIATHELON rated just off the inside and inside rivals, edged up between horses leaving the three eighths, had aim three wide into the lane, saw the top pair get away some in mid stretch but found more to bridge the gap in the final seventy yards. MAUPANSANT , very fractious pre race and loaded without the rider, settled off the pace while towards the inside, eased out into the lane, advanced between rivals in the drive and kept on with interest. DERZ SMART , three to four wide and outside rivals past the five eighths, ranged up mid way on the final turn, pursued on the left lead in the lane and flattened out. SALVO TRIGGER , headstrong to the inside of the winner while stalking past the five eighths, remained inside while close to the head of the lane, chased past mid stretch and faded. ELFUEGOMASBRILANTE , off the pace and between runners near the half, raced three wide into the lane, swung out well wide in the final furlong and finished with some interest. BOURBON OUTLAW , four to five wide, lacked a bid. BLACKTHORNE BRUSCA was rated back soon after the break, secured the inside, checked nearing the quarter pole, eased out and finished willingly. UNCLE GREY lagged back, raced three to four wide in upper stretch and failed to menace. WHITE BLUE , three wide early, failed to respond. HONOR MAGS , three wide between rivals while stalking the pace, failed to respond past the three eighths and weakened.
