FIRST STRIKE stalked two wide, pressed between horses down the bakstretch, gained an advantage nearing the five sixteenths pole, drew clear entering the lane then held from an outer challenger late. GOLD FOOT stalked along the inside under strong restraint around the first turn, pursued from the two path around the far turn, took aim outside of the clear leader in upper stretch, slowly progressed in the final sixteenth but was kept at bay. KARLWITHANARL lacked speed near the inside, shifted out to the four path at the five furlong pole, inched closer around the far turn, fanned out to the six path into upper stretch and ran on willingly. BE HERE settled off of the pace along the inside, shifted out in upper stretch, tipped wider at the furlong grounds and stayed on. MUCHO MOJO pursued four wide, progressed to press three deep around the far turn then gave way. COUNT OF AMAZONIA (IRE) raced at the rear in the two path, then the four path around the far turn and improved between horses. WARREN L tracked three wide, chased around the far turn and tired. SHIESTY TO CHASE pursued in the four to six path into the backstretch, crept closer to chase from within striking range in the four to five path around the far turn, but floated to the six path entering the lane and faded. MY ROMEO LIMA reared at the start and was off slow, trailed in the three to five path and failed to factor. DADDY JUSTIFY tracked in the two path then faded between horses rounding the far turn. FREEDOM STANCE showed the way while tucking to the inside around the first turn, but got headed by an outer presser approaching the five sixteenths pole and weakened. PENROD advanced in the five path around the first turn, stalked three wide leaving the five furlong pole, but faltered between horses into the far turn and caved.
