ALLEY OOP JOHNNY broke in at the start, assumed command heading into the first turn, dictated an even pace up top along the backside, was nudged along holding onto the front end by a slim margin with an outside foe turning up the heat, shifted two wide still holding on in upper stretch and prevailed in the stretch duel, inching away for the wire-to-wire score in the final few jumps. SWAN LAKE was content to track the pacesetter outside in the beginning, took closer order to hound the leader outside down the backstretch, continued to determinedly battle outside going head-to-head around the final bend, shifted to the three path still fighting on outside down the entire stretch drive but could not get by the winner in the late going. GRAFFITI WRITER had a good trip nestled on the rail, rated kindly well in hand watching the twosome argue up top down the backside, took the short way around the last turn keeping pace while scrubbed on for more and finished up willingly but was a non-threatening third at the wire. GOOD SIN was pushed in and squeezed at the start, recovered to sit in midfield while going three wide outside of horses on the initial turn, travelled in the second flight outside another foe keeping a close eye on the engaged lead couple down the backside, came under a drive chasing the front duo but to no avail on the second turn and ran on mildly down the lane to garner a minor placing in the end. DELIAN LEAGUE was pushed in on the break, shared the rear inside another early on, had the fence part of the rear threesome down the backside, angled out at the five sixteenths pole coming with a mild rally on the final turn but could not sustain the run in the stretch drive. SAILOR'S PASSION travelled three wide near the rear, was part of the back trio between rivals with a half mile remaining, had to be checked in tight with runners on each side leaving the five sixteenths pole losing all momentum and could not recover pose a threat in the drive to the finish line. PET SOUNDS was in tight on the break, co-trailed outside another around the first of two turns, settled at the back end three deep outside of horses at the half, could not improve around horses going three to five wide through the second turn and made no impact, having little to offer in the stretch run.
