SIOUX EMPIRE shifted in early settling off the pace, advanced near the inside moving between foes at the five-sixteenths and again splitting foes at the top of the stretch with aim on the leader, overtook that one about the sixteenth pole and edged away under steady urging. BEMIS was urged clear, set the pace from off the rail, was no match but second best. ARCO THUNDER shifted in moving forward between runners, chased from near the inside, had no late kick. SEVENTIES MUSIC was taken up at the start, made steady progress advancing outside foes into and on the turn, came into upper stretch five wide, kept on but missed show honors. ARKANSAS DAVE chased racing up close five wide between foes into the turn, was bumped into a rival passing the three-eighths, kept on in the stretch but needed more. HUMOROUS SAINT was forwardly-placed chasing four wide between foes, was bumped into a rival at the three-eighths, dropped back soon after shifting in a bit, ran on. ROKU NANA chased up close from inside early, steadily dropped back on the turn, ran on in the stretch to improve position. BEST FLAT OUT lacked early speed, moved forward outside racing six wide into the turn, was bumped at the three-eighths, faded in the stretch. BERNARDI chased up close three wide, bumped a rival past the three-eighths, faded in the stretch. ARKANSAS LOVIN MAN chased from outside foes three to four wide into the turn, faded. YANCOPIN broke outwardly, was outpaced and never a threat. BALANDEEN STORM was outrun and not a threat.
