BIRTHDAY GIRL lost the path shortly after the start, tracked five-wide down the backstretch, then four-wide through the turn, advanced on the leaders approaching the quarter-pole, bid five-wide at the top of the stretch, and gradually wore down a game TIGER DIVISION in the final yards to prevail. TIGER DIVISION ducked out at the start, making contact with QUIRKY RIDE, moved up to take over the lead near the five-furlong pole, fended off the advance of several challengers through the turn to take a short lead turning for home, kept on well under steady handling, then gave way grudingly in the late stages. ITALIAN IVY was coaxed early to get forward position, then settled in mid-pack down the backstretch, moved up through the turn to loom just behind the leading trio late on the turn, swung five-wide into the stretch, loomed a big threat in upper stretch but could not go with the top two in the final furlong. QUIRKY RIDE got bumped and took up after the start, then rushed up the inside to join the early pace fray, backed off a bit to a tracking position through the turn, then made a bid for the lead after passing the quarter pole, tried to split horses at the three-sixteenths maker, but got shut off, angled over the the rail but was not doing enough late to pose a threat. GOING STREAKIN broke well and was three-wide pressing the early pace, went on late on the turn with TIGER DIVISION, but weakened a bit in upper stretch and was outkicked to the wire. COOKIN THE BOOKS hesitated at the start and was off slowly, stayed four to five wide, made a mild middle move on the turn, but could not sustain the effort in the stretch. TEGWAR was outrun through the early stages and kept on late to pass tired foes. HANDLE ON YOU broke out at the start, making light contact with MISS MAKENNA, settled in mid-pack along the rally, then struggled to keep pace through the turn and was unable to threaten in the stretch. . MISS MAKENNA got brushed from the inside at the start but was still away well, briefly close up, dropped back before the turn, and had little to offer in the stretch. CODA MIA bobbled slightly at the start but was still first to the front, ceded the lead to TIGER DIVISION after the initial furlong, raced close up through the early stages, the weakened late on the turn and tired in the stretch.
