LEADING CHANGE away well from the gate, led early on before easing off to concede the front to NAPOLEON SOLO under the wire the first time, raced along the inside through the first turn and then just off the inside down the backstretch tracking the leader in close range, tucked inside through the far turn and came under coaxing at the three-eighths pole tipping back once more to be just off the inside, angled four then three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive to wear down the leader inside the final sixteenth and was up in the final jumps to the finish to score. NAPOLEON SOLO away without incident, raced four paths off the rail past the stands the initial time forwardly placed and narrowly seized the front under the wire the initial time, raced three wide into the first turn and through most of it before tucking briefly to the two path before heading back three paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked to the two path into the far turn and remained patiently handled through that bend under hounding from SEA STRIKE to the outside, got set down spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, dug in under a drive edged away to the eighth pole, came under growing threat to the outside and was nailed in the final strides to the wire in a good effort. GOLDEN TEMPO broke in at the start bumping BABY VINO, raced three wide through the first turn growing detached at the rear of the field in tandem with RENEGADE, went three to four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking to the two path into the far turn, came under urging with seven-sixteenths to go, angled in and cut the corner nearly scraping the paint on the fence, closed in through to the finish angling out late near the wire. THE PUMA raced just off the inside through the first turn before tipping four paths off the rail down the backstretch, continued four wide through the far turn ridden along from three furlongs out, angled six wide into upper stretch, lugged in a furlong from home and kept on to the finish. EMERGING MARKET was a bit eager under a firm hold just off the inside and then along the inside through the first turn and got brushed by BABY VINO from the outside, tracked two then three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, angled five wide into upper stretch, drifted out a furlong out and weakened in the late stages. SEA STRIKE broke in at the start and was corrected before making contact with OCELLI, raced three wide through the first turn and then prompted the leader from the outside three then two wide coming under encouragement near the quarter pole, spun three then two wide into upper stretch, dug in prominent to the eighth pole, then weakened in the late going. BABY VINO got bumped at the break by GOLDEN TEMPO breaking inwards, chased just off the inside through the first turn brushing with EMERGING MARKET midway, chased three then two wide under encouragement from the three-eighths pole, angled four wide into upper stretch and weakened in the stretch. RENEGADE lunged at the break and then got pinched back after the start by OCELLI and THE PUMA, raced just off the inside through the first turn growing detached near the tail of the field in concert with GOLDEN TEMPO, chased five then four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking three wide through the far turn coming under coaxing with seven-sixteenths remaining, cornered two to three wide into upper stretch and made no headway. OCELLI shied in at the start from SEA STRIKE breaking inwards and pinched out RENEGADE against THE PUMA after the break, raced just off the inside through the first turn and then chased five then four wide coming under urging with seven-sixteenths to run, faded and took the inside route into upper stretch and tired. SILENT TACTIC three wide through the first turn, chased four paths off the rail down the backstretch and then five wide through the far turn and began to retreat from the three-eighths pole, cornered five wide into upper stretch under a light protective hold and was eased home through to the finish well behind, then walked off under his own power.
