COOL UNDER FIRE showed the way in the two path, was cued midway around the turn, tipped out to the three path at the top of the lane, and kicked away. DAWSON JAMES laid up lose in the three path, was ridden around the turn, and chased home the runaway winner from the four path to clearly be second best. PEARCY ROAD settled in midpack from the three path, was roused from the four path midway around the turn, and finished evenly from the three path down the lane to split show. HUCKABY stalked in the five path, came under a drive in the four path passing the three-eighths pole, and was one paced from the six path down the stretch to split show. HEY MISTER pressed in the four path, vied for the lead passing the quarter. but weakened. BIG COUNTRY BOY chased in the three path, came under right handed urging going into the turn, and faded down the lane. STILLBILLY rated out in the center, was cued from the five path midway around the turn, but made no impact. BALI DEEN was prompted from in range along the inside, driven from the rail around the turn, but weakened in the stretch. IMO THE BEST rated in the two path but was never a factor. JONESBOOGIE raced off the pace along the rail but made no closing bid. HURRICANE COMIN dwelt, trailed in the four path early and never threatened. BRYSONARDS was wellback in the two path early and never menaced.
