SPRINGER narrowly had the front end on the outside down the back straight, shook clear midway on the turn up top, shifted just off the fence holding a shrinking advantage turning for home, drifted out in the last sixteenth clinging onto the lead under left-handed encouragement and just prevailed at the wire for the frontrunning tally. KNOWING watched the lead duo while three off the fence down the backstretch side, started to rally outside horses reaching for more ground at the three eighths marker, loomed menacingly in the three path in upper stretch, grinded away edging up to the leader outside through stretch but could not get to the winner at the wire. SWITCHIN' TO GLIDE had a hustling ride on the rail pushing the pace inside down the backstretch, was scrubbed on the fence letting the leader get away midturn, scraped paint chasing the winner in upper stretch, was still in the mix between foes three wide at the furlong marker, lost its path between rivals with the winner getting out late in deep stretch and managed to hold on for the show money in the end. SOUPER VINNIE was on the far outside stalking five deep early on, closed the gap sharply taking the overland route five wide through the turn, swung out widest in the six path at the top of the lane, could not threaten the lead duo late, settled on the fringes in the end but almost got up for third outside at the finish. PROFESSOR RELOAD had the inside position in midfield down the backside,continued the inside trip settling in the third flight watching the lead trio around the oval,, angled to the four path between rivals at the top of the stretch, shifted inwards two wide by the furlong pole and ran on evenly dueling for a small piece of the prize in deep stretch. PRINCE ALMASTY was away slowly being a long last behind the field down the backside, closed in smartly on the turn, passed a rival inside leaving the quarter pole, kept on trying on the rail down the lane, could not get involved late but showed good late interest in his debut. SPIRITUAL MAN was situated between horses in the four path in mid-pack, ran four wide with rivals on both sides around the bend keeping pace between runners, shifted five wide for the drive to the wire but failed to offer a finish in the final furlong. CARRICK ON STAGE settled in mid-division between foes having the three path along the backstretch side, was roused but dropped back at the five sixteenths pole, could see the field four wide straightening out for home and had little to show in the late running.
