SCREEN SCENE as brushed on the inside at the start, improved along the backstretch to sit in midfield with runners on either side at the half, crept closer inside of rivals at the five sixteenths pole while well in hand, shifted to the three path looming a menacing presence at the top of the lane, burst between foes taking control just after the eighth pole and was kept to the task holding off a late inside charge in deep stretch. BLACK THUNDER was part of the back trio having the outside path in the beginning, advanced in the three path to be in the middle of the pack between foes at the half, lacked running room three wide on the turn dropping back from the five sixteenths pole until the quarter mile marker, had the two path still looking for a seam at the head of the lane, finally had clear run coming on with a smart turn of foot at the furlong pole and determinedly battled on the rail in the final sixteenth but was held off by the winner at the wire. SMARTER STILL was situated in mid-pack three deep on the outside watching the engaged trio, travelled four wide around the bend but was inching up by the quarter pole outside of runners, had the five path in the mix turning for home between rivals and ran on willingly through the lane to be all alone at the finish line for the show award. NYCELY broke out at the start, trailed the field by the half, made a rally around horses four wide at the quarter pole , swung out widest in the six path in upper stretch and ran on mildly in the stretch drive to garner a minor placing in the end. AWESOME MALIBU had the rail sitting in midfield down the backstretch, was hard ridden but was backing away on the fence through the turn to be at the back of the pack by the quarter pole, improved position skimming the fence at the top of the stretch , shifted two wide off the stopping early leader at the furlong marker but could not factor in the late running. ROYAL FONZ stumbled on the start, recovered quickly between horses vying for the front end along the backstretch, chased the leader two wide inside rivals around the oval, shifted to the four path but could not hold forward position between foes shortening stride in upper stretch and failed to menace tiring in the final furlong. CROSBY was hustled on the inside of two others dueling for the front down the back straight, edged clear on the fence by midturn, hugged the rail just holding on turning for home, offered no resistance to the winner by the furlong marker, could not find more late and folded inside of horses by the sixteenth pole. HARD RELOAD argued on the front end three deep outside a couple of runners in the early stages, still was travelling three wide on the turn but gave way unable to go with others on either side with a quarter mile left to run and emptied out by the time they hit the stretch run.
