HARD MISSION settled along the inside, took the far turn in the four path, progressed fanning six wide into the lane, rallied to bid at the furlong grounds and drove clear. ALPHA OMEGA stalked three wide, roused between horses turning for home, took aim from the four path in upper stretch, but got outkicked by an outer foe shortly after, claimed place in the final furlong and held from an outer bidder at the wire. ICE MINISTER broke slowly, trailed along the inside, improved in the five to six path around the far turn before rallying to miss place at the wire. NIP N TUCK prompted two wide, vied between horses into and around the far turn, then with just an outer rival turning for home, got outkicked by a wider challenger in midstretch and yielded. CREEK brushed with an inner foe at the start, tracked in the four path, advanced into the backstretch, vied three wide at the nine sixteenths pole, then two wide nearing the lane, but got outkicked by an outer challenger at the sixteenth pole and gave way between horses. SAGITTARIUS lacked speed in the three to four path into the backstretch, advanced outside of foes approaching and around teh far turn, progressed into striking range turning for home, but flattened out between horses while floating five wide entering the lane, got outkicked and tired. BRAMBLE BLAZE tracked two wide and between horses, then along the inside around the far turn, chased up the rail in upper stretch and lacked a bid. SANT' ANTIMO tracked along the inside, but retreated with a half mile to go. SBAGLIATO checked back from between horses early on, lacked speed in the two to three path and failed to factor. DEL MO set a pressured pace along the inside, vied with an outer pair with nine sixteenths to go then faded approaching the five sixteenths pole.
