PADRAIG broke out at the start, was in the mix early on going three deep on the outside, took back off the lead pair at the five eighths pole, re-engaged getting to the fence at the half, was under a snug hold sitting behind the frontrunner waiting a cue to move midturn, pounced angling three wide at the quarter pole, switched leads as well as gears at the furlong marker, took outfight control powering past with a sixteenth to go and safely held on for the win at the wire. TRANQUILLO had the rail in mid-division with the field sorting itself out down the backside by the half, was scrubbed on at the five sixteenths pole keeping pace with the outside rivals on the turn, skimmed the fence coming on smartly in upper stretch, was allowed to drift out three wide under left handed urged getting a clear path at the furlong marker and offered a solid late run in the last sixteenth of a mile to easily be second best behind the winner. SURE SHOT TIMBER had a hustling ride intent on the lead inside of rivals down the backstretch, cleared off up top by the half, got a slight breather on the engine around the oval, cut the corner still in command at the top of the lane, could not fend off the winner bearing down outside finally at the furlong pole relinquishing the lead and faded in the last sixteenth on the rail just saving the show award from fast closing in rivals. GO GO ALEXANDER settled in mid-pack three deep outside runners at the half mile pole, started to make a run but having to go four wide at the quarter marker to do so, angled to the six path for the stretch run, had his best stride late coming with a good closing kick trying to get up for the third-place share outside but just missing and taking a minor placing instead. BONGINO WARRIOR stalked down the backstretch having a couple of runners beaten, had to wait behind horses at the five sixteenths pole two wide, shifted to the three path unable to go lacking running room in upper stretch, got a clear path going to the fence at the furlong pole and finished up willingly between foes but was on the losing end of a three picture for the show money. NOISY CRICKET was forwardly placed between horses in the three path with a half mile still to go, edged up two wide on the turn between rivals at the quarter pole to be in the mix at the head of the lane, could not find more in the late drive and flattened out by the sixteenth pole. ROUGH HOUSE improved along the backstretch going four deep outside of runners, travelled three wide holding position in the third flight outside through the bend, shifted to the five path between runners in with a chance for a piece of the prize but weakened in the final eighth of a mile. SPEEDY TALLY was brushed inside at the start stalking on the outside near the rear, trailed the group at the half, remained at the back of the pack on the turn, swung out widest in the seven-path starting to make a slight move and passed a couple of tired inside runners in the final furlong. A REAL WAR STORY was ridden along pressing the pace with horses on both sides at the start, chased the leader in the two path at the half, was under a drive two wide to go after the pacesetter throughout the bend, was pushed out four wide by the winner turning for home, gave way battling up top in upper stretch and folded by the furlong marker between horses. RAPPORTEUR was nudged along but lacked early foot seeing the field on the fence, passed an outside foe midway along the backside, made no impact two wide in the turn running, hugged the rail straightening out for home but showed little in the stretch run.
