DAKOTAH BLUE broke outwards in a slight tangle on the start, recouped smartly to have an ideal set up rating kindly on the fence all alone watching the engaged duo at the half, started to commence a rally on the rail with three eighths remaining, shifted outside, pouncing on the frontrunner at the quarter pole, battled in the five path with the inside rival in upper stretch and edged clear for the win in deep stretch. LAKE LOUISE pressed the issue on the rail in the beginning, seized command inside from the stablemate at the five eighths pole, opened up briefly on the turn at the three furlong marker, had company to fend off on the outside at the quarter pole, fought on stubbornly inside in the three path but yielded to the winner in the final sixteenth. TAP MY DESIRE was unhurried outside at the back of the pack, started to reach for more ground passing a runner outside at the five sixteenths pole, swung out gathering more momentum widest in the seven path at the top of the lane and finished up willingly, closing in belatedly to be a distant third at the wire outside. LOTTA GEMS broke outwards on the start settling in mid-pack, offered a mild run four wide in midturn, gained third place three wide turning for home but was caught late on the outside and had to settle on the fringes in the end. GOLDEN HARVEST had a stalking role on the rail close to the rear in the beginning, came under a ride when passed outside to see the field midway around the oval, scraped paint in contention for a piece of the prize turning for home but lacked a finishing kick in the final furlong. DI CAPRI was brushed on the inside at the start, had the early lead leaving the chute, took off the stablemate inside to track the leader by the five eighths marker, was roused for more but could not keep up to rivals at the three furlong pole and was empty for the drive by upper stretch.
