FIRST STRIKE was sent between horses at the start, vied for the lead along the inside before backing off to stalk leaving the five furlong pole, rebid two wide rounding the far turn, drove clear at the furlong grounds and held sway. OCEAN ATLANTIQUE trailed near the two path, shifted out to the five path at the five sixteenths pole and rallied to edge place at the sixteenth pole. SKYRO tracked from the three to two path, chased around the far turn, ran on to bid for place in the three path and along with an outer rival at the sixteenth pole but got outkicked. JOEJOE GO laid off of the pace in the two to three path, swerved out to the seven path at the five sixteenths pole then ran on willingly. MEGALODON broke a step slow, saved ground off of the pace to no avail. SURF CITY pursued along the inside into the first turn, pulled closer into the backstretch to bid three wide and between the leaders at the five furlong pole, led along the inside into the far turn, got collared by an outer bidder at the five sixteenths pole, was bested at the furlong grounds and faded. REAL FAST lacked speed in the three to four path, got floated out to the six path at the five sixteenths pole then failed to factor. FRIAR NEWTON tracked in the three to two path around the first turn, steadied when floated to the four path into the backstretch, pursued in the two path shortly after, but got shuffled approaching the far turn and made little impact. GOES THE CLOWN stalked in the two to three path before floating out to the five path into the backstretch, pursued within striking range in the three path around the far turn then weakened. READ ON vied in the four path, chased an early inner bidder down the backstretch then faltered between horses around the far turn. SING SING vied two wide and between horses, backed off to stalk leaving the five furlong pole then weakened between horses approaching the far turn.
