MCKENZIE ROAD had the advantage on the fence around the first turn, surrendered the lead to an outside foe entering the backstretch, reclaimed the lead inside by the half, had a slim margin up top dueling inside around the far turn, put away the pesky early speed foe on the outside when pulling away at the eighth pole and held off all new challengers comfortably in the late running. TOP OF D MOUNTAIN stalked near the rear outside, travelled four deep along the back straight, had a good turn of foot circling four wide around foes at the three furling pole, swung out widest in the seven path full of run down the stretch but could not get to the winner late and finished up clearly second best at the wire. CHERVONARUTA was tucked in on the rail watching the contesting twosome for the first half of the race, kept pace inside another in the second flight through the last bend, shifted five wide in the mix between horses at the top of the lane, was no match for the front pair by the sixteenth pole but fought on determinedly outside to win the show battle in the final seventy yards. SYMPATICO had the outside position in midfield, regressed slightly in the three path with runners on either side at the half, rallied smartly between horses three wide with five sixteenths still to run, angled inside just off the rail straightening for home and under left handed encouragement was just outkicked late losing the show battle. MISS BOUJEE shadowed the pacesetter outside on the first turn, briefly assumed command outside entering the backstretch, flanked the resurging leader outside by the half, battled outside going head to head around the last turn, chased the winner to no avail in the two path down the lane then faded between horses in the last sixteenth losing a few placings in deep stretch. FAULTFINDER travelled three wide tracking the lead twosome on the initial bend, remained three deep on the outside still keeping a close eye on the contesting pair down the backside straight, came under a ride outside in the second flight well in touch with the lead duo on the second turn, was forced out by the inside foe six wide in upper stretch and ran on evenly failing to menace in the last furlong. BLING D'MONEY HOME broke out on the start, stalked only ahead of the poor starter in the early going, improved up the rail at the half, waited on the fence in the third tier having nowhere to go midway on the final bend, had clear run inside on the rail turning for home but failed to fire through the lane. SERENADING KITTEN was brushed by the inside foe on the break, had to be taken hold off when outside rivals were angling in soon after the start, sat in mid-division nestled on the rail on the first turn, made no movement along the backside, was shuffled back being checked mildly in the two path between horses at the quarter pole and could not get into contention three wide in the stretch drive. DANISH COOKIE leapt up at the start to trail in the beginning, lagged behind foes along the backside, caught up to a rival outside on the final bend by the quarter pole but could not get further involved in the late running. D'S KANDY settled between horses tracking the front pair in the early stages, dropped back unable to hold position by the half mile marker, was relegated to the rear with a quarter mile remaining and lost touch with the group by mid-stretch.
