CELTIC CONTENDER rated kindly stalking in the clear and off the inside, moved up and bid three deep near the five sixteenths, wrested command while about four wide into the lane, shook clear under left handed asking then held firm to the wire. SUREMEANTTOOBE came out slightly at the break and brushed with BOLD DIVERSION, rushed up soon after and attended the pace outside AND SUM, battled on between foes nearing the lane, chased on past mid stretch and kept on well to regain the place. BAND CAMP secured the inside early on while not far back, took closer order mid turn, swung out four wide into the stretch, raced on his left lead past mid stretch and churned on. AND SUM sped up to the inside of rivals to take command, set a pressured pace towards the inner rail, sparred two wide and to the inside of runners into the stretch then gave way grudgingly through the final seventy yards. TOP MANIPULATOR broke slowly, regrouped to save ground off the pace, worked outward in the final furlong and had some interest between foes. BOLD DIVERSION , brushed at the break, dropped off the pace and toward the inside, angled out, came three wide for the drive and had belated action. HAILEYSFIRSTNOTION stalked a contested pace while four wide, made a mild move under strong asking past the five sixteenths, circled five wide into the lane, lacked a punch in mid stretch and faded. S S SINATRA , off the pace and off the inside, failed to respond.
