THREE SONNY SIDEUP shared the rear on the outside initially, advanced along the backstretch closing the gap by the half sitting in midfield, rally three wide around foes at the five sixteenths pole, posed the main threat in the four path outside the leader at the top of the stretch, wore down rivals one by one in the stretch drive getting a head in front by the sixteenth pole and held sway from a late surging runner up at the finish line. CATHOLIC JACKIE travelled three wide on the outside close to the back, had one beaten while finding its stride with the field very strung out down the backstretch, took the short way around narrowing the margin on the last bend by the quarter pole , shifted outside in the four path looking for running room turning for home, finally got a clear lanee with only a sixteenth of a mile left to run and surged late closing on the winner bit could not get there in time. FAST AND READY had the rail position tracking the contesting lead twosome, edged up measuring the lead duo on the far turn closing in while shifting out midway along the far turn, angled to the three path seizing command in upper stretch, fought determinedly between up top until stalling at the sixteenth pole and just held on saving the show money at the wire. AUDAX MINOR was allowed to settle into stride co-trailing on the inside with the eventual winner on the first of two turns, lagged behind the group down the backstretch, began to pick up the bit catching up to an inside rival at the five sixteenths pole, swung out widest in the five path gathering some momentum in with a chance for a piece of the prize but could only finish up gradually, closing in through deep stretch but could not threaten for the win at the wire. SHAMATEUR dueled inside with an unrelenting foe for the first part of this two turn event opening up an the rest of the field down the backside under a brisk tempo, still had a slim advantage with the pace slowing down around the far turn, was collared outside in the two path disposing of the speed rival in upper stretch, stubbornly fought back on through the drive but could not find more late being softened up early and gap faded in the final seventy yards losing a couple of positions coming to the wire. BUTTONWOOD TREE battled outside in the early stages with the front pair in a match race to themselves under a lively first half, was the first of the lead speed duo to give way in the three path between foes turning for home and faltered running out of gas by the furlong pole. BLONDINA'S BOY travelled two wide outside another tracking the contesting twosome, was hard ridden at the three eighths pole with the pace slowing down but still was going in the wrong direction through the last bend to be last on the fence by the quarter pole and came up empty unable to even pick up a leg weary rival who was softened up fighting for the front end in the beginning.
