SPIRIT OF ROYAL in tight and bothered while five wide into the first turn, angled in, raced back, advanced along the rail second turn, moved out a bit for the drive, split foes, brushed midstretch, closed with good determination to be in time. DRAGONES forwardly placed from the start while racing three wide, continued to prompt the issue up front the middle half, took over while continuing in the three path late in the final turn, shook clear upper stretch, could not contain the winner. CRUPPER four wide in the first turn, raced in the second flight, came three to four wide for the drive, lacked a closing punch. COMING SOON vied up front in the two path, put a head in front briefly midway on the final turn, had little left for the stretch run. I'M WORTHY put in tight and steadied when bothered into the first turn, raced back, shuffled to lose additional position late backstretch, came in the two path for the drive and finished with some late energy to improve position. UNAUTHORIZED off a step slow, moved inside trouble early in the first turn, improved a bit the middle half, steered out three wide in the second turn, went evenly to the wire in lacking a closing response. SCUFFLE broke sharp, clear into the first turn, vied the middle half then gave way midway on the final turn. HOSS N BOSS off a step slow, raced five wide and in some traffic into the first turn, continued in mid pack, had little left for the stretch run. RING CURL in tight and bothered while six wide early in the first turn, raced back thereafter and failed to rally. HOWLIN' WOLF bothered while six wide into the first turn, clipped heels, fell back and was never involved. BIG TECH got out, rank into the first turn to bother several rivals, continued unruly through that bend, moved outside and stopped in the far turn.
