STRIKE A MATCH vied three deep between rivals up the backstretch, put a head in front in the two path still between foes midway around the bend, started to edge clear from rivals on both sides at the eighth pole and drew away while having the rider lose his crop in deep stretch. KORE KINETIC vied four deep early, fought three deep around the bend, battled to upper stretch, could not kick on with the winner with furlong remaining and stayed on to secure second. MISSILE CRUISER vied for the lead from inside, failed to keep up with outer trio into the turn, chased next to the fence then two wide into the lane, angled out under left handed encouragement in upper stretch and missed second. HEAVENLY MATCH broke a step slow and lacked early speed, traveled along the rail in the two path on the turn, angled out for the stretch and was able to offer a mild response earn a minor award. TREXIMO chased two wide into the turn, fell out of range around the bend, stayed off the fence to the stretch and could not rally. RIDE THE TIGER vied with rivals on both sides, moved to the inside for the turn, lost command at the five-sixteenths pole, fought to upper stretch and weakened. HE'S A FIGHTER was off slow to begin, disliked the kickback early and came out early, rounded the turn three then four wide and passed tired rivals. POWERFUL EDVENTURE away quickest then steadily fell out of range, tracked two wide leaving the backstretch, angled four wide around the bend and could not rally. COSMIC TRAIL got bumped a few times early, angled in chasing from out of range, saved ground to the stretch and weakened.
