SPIKEPHIL was loose on the lead in the beginning, set an even pace while having company on the outside at the half, battled on the rail around the last turn keeping a head in front of a pesky outside foe with a quarter mile from home, edged away in the two path in upper stretch, had company on both sides bearing down at the furlong marker but stubbornly dug in between rivals and found more in deep stretch to hold on in a three way photo for the win. BRIGHT ANGEL (IRE) had a good spot tucked in on the fence, shifted out at the quarter pole off the contesting duo up front, loomed in the four path at the head of the lane, determinedly fought on outside of two others to the wire but was denied the win in a blanket finish for the top spot. ACCELERANDO travelled in midfield between foes in the three path on the initial turn, remained under a snug hold with runners on either side making little change along the backside, was checked just starting to make a run when the inside rival shifted out at the quarter marker, regained momentum inside horses just off the fence coming on the furlong pole and almost got there at the finish line in a tight picture for the top three placings. ENCORE MO was unhurried, trailing on the first turn, shared the rear outside a runner down the back straightaway, was scrubbed on for more making little headway around the last bend but did pick up a couple of tired rivals in the stretch running to settle for a minor role in the end. MAC GOWAN broke out on the start, recovered to track the pacesetter on the outside around the first of two turns, took closer order hounding the inside frontrunner down the backstretch, dueled outside on the final bend at the quarter pole, shifted to the three path at the top of the lane but weakened between horses in the final furlong. CASTLE HARBOUR travelled four wide around runners in midfield early one, remained outside foes three deep still in the middle of the pack down the backside, was under a busy ride trying to keep up to others while three wide around the far turn, moved to the five-path turning for home but had little to offer down the lane. ZIP TO ZAP was bumped by the inside rival at the break, stalked near the rear on the inside in the beginning, co-trailed with an outside foe along the back straight, could not get into gear taking the short way around the final bend under a ride and could not factor in the stretch drive on the fence.
