MAC GOWAN tracked in behind the leading group first between runners then inside but off the fence two to three deep, floated out a path or so leaving the turn exchanging light brushes in the process, shifted in a bit once in upper stretch to rally between foes striking the lead a sixteenth from home and edging away late. MR. PERFECT moved forward inside to take a share of the lead up the backstretch, vied for that position into and on the turn saving ground on or juts off the rail, was headed late on that bend but fought back to retake a narrow advantage in upper stretch, was overtaken by the winner in deep stretch and proved no match but second best. BACCARO POINT vied between runners, dropped back to the second flight early on the turn chasing in behind the leaders and outside a foe, fanned six wide into upper stretch exchanging incidental brushing in the process, kept on to secure show honors. UXBRIDGE ARMS (GB) broke a step slowly and steadied just slightly when in tight, lacked early speed bringing up the rear, saved some ground on the turn angling out five wide turning for home, moved out a bit further for room in later stretch and finished well but was not enough. INTERIM ANALYSIS was allowed to settle early dropping back off rivals and angling out at the five-eighths, advanced four wide into the turn, took a narrow lead near the quarter pole, could not sustain the effort and flattened out in the lane. SUMMER TRAIN chased from between foes early, dropped back but saved ground near the rail on the turn, kept on in the stretch just off the inside to improve. LAKE COMO HEIST vied between runners briefly for the early lead, dropped back between at the half, continued to chase near but off the rail running on one-paced. CARRICK ON STAGE lightly bumped a rival at the start, lacked early speed dropping back to last up the backstretch, raced outside a foe at the rear through the turn, came out nine wide at the top of the stretch, failed to menace. A REAL WAR STORY was just a bit restless in the gate, got away well and forced the pace from outside, vied with runners three wide on the turn racing between foes, came up empty in the stretch. BORDER FOX was lightly bumped at the start, chased the leaders briefly from close range then dropping back outside a foe heading into the turn, swung seven wide into upper stretch, was carried out a bit, faded.
