DELTA FORCE moved forward three wide into the first turn, pressed the early pace then took the lead by the five-eighths and edged away dictating terms in the clear outside the half, was put to vigorous hand urging in upper stretch and held foes while kept to task. BIG SCREEN BOSS was sent clear and shifted in heading to the first turn setting the early tempo, was overtaken by the five-eighths and stalked the leader up the backstretch, switched outside that one, kept on in the lane between runners late for the place. NOT A CARE was bumped at the start, switched out off the inside settling at the rear, advanced four to five wide on the far turn, continued to gain late, was transported off the track via equine ambulance. GONE HUNTING bumped a rival at the start, had forward position heading to the first turn switching out off the inside but was in a bit tight early on that bend, settled just off the leading pair stalking outside, was three wide leaving the far turn, kicked on mildly gaining between foes late but was outfinished. AUNTIE'S BAMBINO settled off the pace between runners early, raced three to four wide through both turns, was one-paced. HOLY RAMBO saved ground inside, steadied about the three-eighths when in tight, ran on along the rail to improve. MESSY RIDING shifted in early on the first turn, raced mid-pack near the inside on or just off the rail, came out a bit in the stretch, failed to menace. WELL LIT was caught three to four wide on both turns, dropped back and faded. KING RONIN altered outside runners early racing five then four wide on the first turn, moved up a bit outside foes, was ridden along three furlongs out but had no late response and faded.
