GRAND SLAM SMILE established the front quickly, angled to the inside showing the way down the hill, given her leaving the dirt, responded to right handed urging and stayed clear to the wire. TAKE ANOTHER CARD allowed to settle in the early going, traveled three wide early on the turn, angled out and came six wide into the stretch, closed well to get up for second but could not reach the winner. PRANCINGTHRUPARIS was forwardly placed from inside, chased willingly through the lane but lacked the needed late kick and got edged for second. TEQUILAANDTHERAPY tracked in hand early, traveled along the rail on the turn before tipped two wide past the quarter pole, roused exiting the dirt, kept trying through the lane but needed to find more. ISSA COURT hopped at the start, chased from off the pace two wide into the turn, angled four wide across the dirt, steered out further at the top of the lane and improved position. TINA TURNER stalked outside a rival into the turn, navigated the bend two then three wide, drifted out crossing the dirt and weakened in the drive. MOMENT'S PLEASURE lacked early speed, went three wide into the turn, gained while angling out late on the bend, came eight wide into the stretch and flattened out. GOING DEEP raced up close outside the leader early, chased three then two wide on the turn, drifted out crossing the dirt and weakened.
