MELISMATIC (IRE) followed in range from inside, drew closer at the halfway point, shifted to the two path on the far turn, bid along the rail entering the lane, took over at the eighth pole and drove clear in deep stretch. POSTMODERN raced up close three then two wide, bid between rivals leaving the backstretch, took over midway around the far turn, lost command into the stretch, fought back to midstretch, could not kick on with the winner in the last sixteenth but was able to hold on for second. CONSTITUTION ANDI pulled into the first, checked and altered out, checked again around the bend, asked three then four wide on the far turn, came inward in the lane, rallied and missed second. POST GAME sat off the pace in the two path, moved into range in the middle stages, angled four wide around the far turn, steered out wider in the stretch, finished with late interest and earned a minor award. FLAMBOYANT sat off the pace three deep on the first turn, was on the move out wide on the backstretch and challenged four deep into the far turn, fought to midstretch and could not summon the needed late kick. PLAGARIST tracked four then three wide early, chased from out of range then moved forward on the backstretch, bid three deep between foes into the far turn, led into the lane, lost command at the eighth pole and flattened late. GO RALPH settled three then four wide around the first turn, traveled outside a rival at the rear at the half-mile pole, came three wide into the stretch, drifted to the inside and showed a mild response to whittle the gap late. CHE (IRE) steadied when getting cut off shortly after the start, settled on the inside, chased two wide at the quarter pole and failed to menace in the lane. STAN THEMAN MUSIAL came away sluggishly at the start, trailed two wide then along the rail early, angled out at the five-sixteenths pole, came four wide into the lane and was never a factor. ITS THE BANDIT was fractious in the gate, sent for the lead from inside, led clear two wide then along the rail on the first turn, controlled the pace to the half-mile pole, came under fire from a trio of rivals at the seven-sixteenths pole, yielded around the far turn and tired in the lane.
