AUDAX MINOR assumed command on the fence into the first turn, dictated the pace unchallenged along the backside, still remained in front by a diminishing margin at the quarter pole but got a breather on the far turn with the third split and was resilient down the lane holding for the front-running win while drifting out slightly exchanging bumps with the outside foe when in a tight, dueling coming to the finish line. COMPTON was unhurried co-trailing on the outside going three wide on the initial bend, stalked outside foes having clear lane down the back straight, mounted a rally circling foes three wide at the quarter marker to loom the main threat outside in the four path turning for home, dueled outside under right handed encouragement gradually gaining on the frontrunner down the lane, stayed on the wrong lead through to the finish, traded bumps drifting in mildly while battling in deep stretch but could not go past the winner. SOL DE VERANO had a good spot on the rail nestled just back off the pacesetter, rated kindly under a long rein settling into stride smartly in midfield down the backside, narrowed the margin taking the short way on the turn drafting behind the leader by the quarter pole, shifted out in the conversation two wide straightening out for the drive, was no match for the front duo by the furlong pole running inside rivals and just lasted for the show money at the wire. SPRUNG LOOSE broke a step slow sharing the rear inside another on the first bend, could see the field quite in range of the leader with the field compact at the half mile marker, started to make a move picking up horses outside at the quarter pole, angled out gathering momentum in the five path in upper stretch, closed belatedly in the final eighth of a mile outside just missing the nod in the final jump for the third place share at the finish line and settled on the fringes instead. MAGIC SLIPS travelled three wide on the outside tracking the pacesetter in the early stages, closed the gap smartly on the final bend to press the issue outside making a bid two furlongs from the wire, continued to fight in the mix three wide between rivals in upper stretch but had little left late and faded at the furlong marker. OUT N OUT DISGRACE was situated between horses tracing the pacesetter in the beginning, settled inside a rival keeping a close eye on the leader down the backstretch, could not quicken with others on either side who were commencing a run at the three furling pole, trailed the group with a quarter mile to run and galloped down the stretch playing no role in the late running.
