ROCK HARD ROSE was in the mix arguing for the front end between rivals early on, went on with it clearing up top getting to the rail heading into the turn, rolled along unopposed setting an even pace throughout the oval and under a well rated ride was kept busy in deep stretch to just have enough late to stave off the fast closing runner up outside at the wire. SUPER SICILY was off a step slow on the break, was slightly eager at the rear pulling at the rider who was trying to throttle her down behind a wall of horses at the half, shifted out four wide reaching for ground at the quarter mile marker, swung out widest in the six path full of run at the top of the stretch, charged home outside late but could not get tithe winner in time. HARD TO CAPTURE settled into stride close to the back three deep outside foes at the half, made a strong circling move four wide midway around the turn, shifted to the five path in the thick of things between challengers at the top of the lane and finished up willingly to be a clear third but could not threaten for the win in deep stretch. PRIMA dueled in the rail initially, took back off fighting on the front end midway down the backside, took the short way around the bend following the frontrunner, closed the gap by the quarter pole, shifted out two wide posing a threat in upper stretch but evened out in the final furlong lasting for a minor placing outside. VERDEJO was brushed by the outside foe on the break, recovered to be forwardly placed leaving the chute, settled inside of runners in midfield with a half mile still to run, edged up inside of runners midpoint through the bend skimmed the fence at the head of the lane but lacked a rally inside in the final furlong. GENIUS OF LOVE settled on the outside of two others in mid-pack at the half mile pole, offered a brief run three wide in midturn to four wide between runners at the top of the stretch, could not carry the momentum any further though and idled in the final furlong. MORE MONEY HUNNY prompted the pace outside in the beginning, chased but made little progression on the winner through the turn and had little left for the drive, faltering just off the fence at the head of the lane. DANCETOTHERHYTHM was away a touch slowly on the break, settled near the rear inside down the backstretch, could see the field unable to quicken around the bend at the five sixteenths marker, scraped paint picking up an outside weary rival turning for home but failed to menace in the stretch drive afterwards. ROCKET RILEY broke inwards on the start, vied between horses having the four path part of the early scrum into the backstretch, was rein back off the pace to sit in midfield with horses on either side with a half mile remaining, dropped back in tight between foes at the five sixteenths pole and came up empty three wide straightening out for the drive.
