BATTALION LEADER tracked behind the leaders in the two path, waited around the turn, angled out to the five path while being roused at the top of the lane, and rallied past inner rivals in the final furlong to draw clear in the closing stages. GRAY BEAST settled in midpack along the inside, was roused midway around the turn, bid between foes from the two path passing the eighth pole, and ran on to edge out place. NIGHT RAVEN was wellback outside of foes, improved under coaxing in the five path around the turn, fanned out to the seven path at the top of the lane, and kept on to get up for show. POLIZON prompted the pace in the three path, vied between foes in the two path around the turn, led passing the quarter, and dug in before yielding between foes around the sixteenth. FIFTEEN HUNDRED R chased in the four path, was driven in the three path around the turn, floated out to the six path at the top of the lane, but flattened. TUSCAN THUNDER was wellback in the four path, ridden along the rail around the turn, but made no final bid. ALEXANDER K pressed the pace in the four path, bid under a drive in the three path around the turn, fought on from the four path in upper stretch, but gave way in the final furlong. ASHRYVER showed the way in the two path, was roused while being headed by an outer foe midway around the turn, then yielded down the stretch. CHANCE ON ME was hustled from in range outside of foes in the five path early but retreated. JAZZERATOR bumped with an outer foe at the start, trailed in the two path and never menaced. MONEY MAGIC bumped with an inner foe at the start, rated in the three path but was empty at the top of the lane.
