LOVE STRIKE pressed the issue on the rail through the first bend, dueled inside head to head for the lead down the back straight, edged clear up top midway in the final turn, was collared on both sides in the two path with a furlong to go, relinquished the lead by the sixteenth pole but tenaciously found more resurging late to get up front once again at the finish line. SUNNYVILLE was squeezed to trail the field just off the fence after the break, stalked three deep sharing the back end of things by the half, made a sharp move swooping four wide around runners with five sixteenths to go, loomed menacingly outside in the four path turning for home and kept on coming fighting outside to the very end but was denied by a resilient winner in a tight three way photo for the win. BLAZE OF MISCHIEF broke outwards on the start, travelled under a snug hold in midfield inside foes on the first turn, closed the gap down the backside, edged up on the fence behind the leader waiting for the cue to go by the quarter pole, darted up the fence with clear run at the furlong pole, had its head in front for a moment inside two others with a sixteenth remaining but could not find that little bit more late and settled for the show award being on the losing end of a three horse picture for all the money. ARCTIC BLONDE had a good spot tracking the engaged duo on the first turn, settled in the second flight inside another down the back straight, kept pace between rivals through the last bend to be in the mix for a share three wide in upper stretch but evened out by the furlong marker to settle on the fringes in the end. BLACK GODDESS broke in at the start, stalked near the rear between foes in the early stages, lagged behind the rest of the group midway on the far turn, angled out widest in the five path and picked up a couple of weary foes inside when turning for home. MOMANDA had a slim advantage just off the rail early on, battled outside for the front along the backside, was scrubbed for more but gave way up top at the five sixteenths pole, had no resistance when engulfed between rallying rivals a quarter mile from home and had nothing left galloping in to the wire not being persevered with in the final furlong. CONQUER THE STORM had a slow beginning plus breaking outwards on the start, improved circling around runners four wide on the first turn, travelled in the four path in the second flight outside down the backstretch, was going the wrong way unable to keep up to others while three wide between foes midway on the second turn and emptied out in the two path by upper stretch.
