STRONG STATE got bumped at the start by LIMES DON'T LIE and in turn bumped SING A LITTLE SONG, chased four then three wide from the tail of the field coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, went seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a good finish outside to close in and take command in the final strides to the wire. ULTIMATE AUTHORITY bobbled at the break and recovered outwards in a start that saw every rival head outwards at the break, chased just off the inside coming under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, took the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under a drive running on to just get up for the place honors in the very last jump to the line. SHE'S A GAMER broke out at the start brushing the off side stall before being corrected, established the front with five and a half furlongs to run and showed the way along the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn, cornered from the two path into upper stretch and was roused just inside the three-sixteenths marker, edged clear to inside the eighth pole, dug in under growing threat to the outside and was caught by the top one for the victory and then nailed on the wire for the place honors. ALYESKA bobbled twice at the break, chased five then four wide coming under urging near the quarter pole, angled five wide into upper stretch and kept on to the finish. LIMES DON'T LIE bobbled at the start and recovered outwards bumping STRONG STATE into SING A LITTLE SONG, chased three then two wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths pole, angled out six wide into upper stretch and stayed on one paced to the end. THE BIG CALHOUNA led early on before being displaced from the front by SHE'S A GAMER five and a half furlongs from home, prompted that rival from the outside four then three wide under coaxing from three furlongs out, went three to four wide into upper stretch and tired. SING A LITTLE SONG got bumped at the start by STRONG STATE due to pressure from LIMES DON'T LIE, chased three wide under encouragement from the five-sixteenths marker, angled five wide at the head of the stretch and was eased home through to the finish.
