LAKE COMO HEIST was prominent up top on the outside leaving the chute, chased the pacesetter outside at the half, moved in two wide on the turn making a bid outside at the quarter pole, had slim lead by the furlong marker, relinquished the front end to the early speed rival with a sixteenth to go and tenaciously resurgent in deep stretch to come back on for the gutsy win. GLORIOUS REVENGE argued for the led inside leaving the chute, edged clear on the fence at the half mile pole, was headed outside at the quarter marker, gave way on the front end briefly with a furling remaining, fought back seizing control inside once again with a sixteenth from the wire but could not fend off the winner for a second time just getting nabbed outside at the finish line. FULL STAR ran in tandem with an outside foe in mid-pack, rated kindly under a snug hold behind a trio of horses at the seven sixteenths pole lacking running room, hugged the rail coining with a rally straightening out for home and finished up mildly inside winning the battle for third money but never threatening the front two who had it to themselves the entire race. IMPERIAL WAR was hard held behind the leader at the half while sitting on the fence, kept a close eye on the lead pair while inside another in the second flight through the turn, shifted to the three path in the hunt between horses but needed more late losing the show duel to an inside foe in deep stretch. NYCELY travelled three deep keeping tabs outside on the engaged pair, tracked the top duo while outside a rival in the second tier on the turn, shifted out four wide in upper stretch in the mix for a piece of the prize but faded in the last eighth of a mile. FOUND MONEY was in no rush settling into stride close to the back end outside another runner, narrowed the margin at the half, made no impact while going three wide around the bend, shifted to the two path for the drive to the wire and could only pass a tired foe in the stretch running. METRO KING settled in mid-division on the outside with the field paired up down the backstretch, made a brief move circling , taking closer three wide around foes at the three eighths marker, dropped back by the quarter pole and yielded to others in the five path by the furlong marker. BETTERMUSTCOME had the fence ahead of only one runner in the early going, offered no movement taking the shortest way around the bend, skimmed the fence at the top of the stretch but could not okay a factor in the stretch drive. ALMASTY FIVE was void of early foot trailing down the backside, had the two path making no progression around the oval, shifted to the four path turning for home and galloped on in the final furlong unable to get anything going.
