CONN SMYTHE (GB) was tucked in on the rail watching the lead trio, settled into a good rhythm galloping along in the second flight inside down the back straight, waited to move on the far turn liking what he saw tracking the contesting trio, moved outside at the quarter pole unleashing a rally, pounced four wide in upper stretch and went by at the sixteenth pole to edge clear for the late charging win when crossing the finish line. SHAMATEUR had the lead setting a moderate pace into the headwind early on, narrowly maintained the advantage quickening the wind aided tempo along the backside, was collared by a couple of outside rivals at the quarter pole, fought on valiantly inside of runners to the wire but was just second best behind the winner who had an ideal set up throughout the race. GRANDE SOIREE was in the fray up front between horses in the beginning, was reined back sitting outside the eventual winner while watching the lead pair down the backstretch, moved into contention three wide at the five sixteenths pole, loomed in the four path turning for home, drifting inwards driving up top coming to the eighth pole, did not switch leads through the lane and faded in the last sixteenth lasting for the show money. THREE SONNY SIDEUP prompted the pace going three wide around the first of two turns, took even closer order flanking the frontrunner outside down the backstretch, dueled between horses on the second bend at the quarter pole, had to be checked losing his path three wide between foes at the top of the lane losing all momentum but did show some resolve to come back on trying to get the show award in deep stretch. ARMINO tossed its head on the start, trailing in the early stages, remained at the rear down the backside, could not make any impact on the final bend, moved out three wide for the drive to the finish line and managed to pass a weary rival on the inside in upper stretch. AMAZIN QUEEN had a stalking trip ahead of only the poor starter, made little impression down the backside and through the last turn and came up empty just off the fence in upper stretch.
