DETERMINED KINGDOM chased five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn advancing under coaxing to stack outside the top pair before swinging five wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command nearing the eighth pole, dug in under threat from a trio and held on at the finish. SPICED UP three wide in pursuit, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, angled out eight wide into upper stretch, traded a bump with BOLTAGE with three-sixteenths to go when going by that rival, came inwards when the crop was switched from the left hand to the right and bumped FINAL VERDICT a sixteenth out, traded leans with that rival from that juncture through to forty yards from the finish and just missed at the end. FINAL VERDICT chased along the inside coming under a ride at the five-sixteenths pole, angled four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and was bumped by the aforementioned foe a sixteenth out, latched on the leader, dug in trading leans with that SPICED UP through to the final forty yards and then just missed between foes on the wire. TWISTED FILIGREE bobbled forward at the break and broke on top, dueled just off the inside and then along the inside with MENTEE to his outside, got joined by the eventual winner nearing the quarter pole and spun just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared nearing the eighth pole, battled on inside a trio to the line. STRAIGHT ARROW fractious in the gate prior to the start, chased two then three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths marker, angled out seven to eight wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. VACATION DANCE three wide in pursuit, got coaxed along with five-sixteenths to go, angled out seven wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late stages. ANTISOCIAL hustled from the gate, chased four then three wide under encouragement from the five-sixteenths pole, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and passed tired foes. WHATCHATALKINABOUT chased along the inside and then just off the inside under urging from the five-sixteenths pole, angled three to four wide for home and offered no response. BOLTAGE chased along the inside and steadied at the seven-sixteenths, went just off the inside through the turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, went seven wide into upper stretch, traded a bump with SPICED UP, then weakened in the late stages. GOLD TRUST three wide in aim down the backstretch, tucked to the inside at the seven-sixteenths marker and rode the rail through the turn coming under urging with five-sixteenths to run, took the inside route into upper stretch, weakened in the late going. MENTEE dueled three then two wide ridden along from the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into upper stretch between foes, weakened. MISCHIEVOUS ANGEL chased along the inside under urging from three furlongs out, spun three wide into upper stretch, made no impact.
