ARMINO was unhurried settling into a rhythm near the rear isolated while stalking the leader having only one runner beaten early on, improved outside down the backstretch to run in tandem with an inside foe by the half, pounced quickly going three wide sensing the soft pace getting a head in front of the two inside rivals at the midpoint of the second bend, dueled outside with the stubborn frontrunner coming back fighting on down the entire lane and just got the better in a lengthy stretch duel getting the head down at the wire for the hard fought victory. ALLEY OOP JOHNNY had the rail settling a pedestrian pace on the first of two turns, continued up top but hounded outside still going at a snails pace along the backstretch, relinquished the lead inside of two others when the winner made a sharp circling move at the five sixteenths pole, countered in the two path going battling head to head between foes in the final furlong but was denied the win losing the nod at the finish line. PET SOUNDS had a good spot well placed nestled onthe fence behind the engaged duo, could not quicken with the lead trio at the five sixteenths pole, skimmed the fence at the top of the stretch commencing an inside rally, was gradually inching up on the rail trying to join the embattled pair in deep stretch but needed more late unable to threaten the top two rivals at the finish line. GOOD SIN was off just a step slow at the start, moved up keeping a close eye on the pacesetter outside on the first turn, ranged closer to force the issue outside under a gallop down the backstretch, vied two wide between runners in the heat of battle at the midway point of the far turn, was the first to give way unable to remain up front by the quarter pole and finished up one paced down the lane holding for a minor placing. JAMIESTA broke sharp in the mix at the beginning outside, dropped back to last heading into the initial bend, lagged well behind the pack down the backside, closed the gap somewhat around the final turn but was still at the rear turning for home and could not close in late never factoring in the stretch running.
