ENCORE MO was hustled at the start utilizing the inside post to be loose on the lead setting an honest pace in the beginning, slowed the pace down considerably while unopposed down the backstretch, continued to canter along up front on the far turn still being allowed to dictate a very soft pace in the running around the far turn, spurted away when briefly challenged outside turning for home and under a busy ride had just left in reserve late to last at the wire for the frontrunning win. AUDI'S WORLD was unhurried trailing the field in the early stages, started to close the gap on the final bend, was roused to go three wide at the quarter pole commencing a rally, swung out widest, full of run in the five path at the top of the stretch, steadily was gaining through the lane but with one last charge just missed getting to the winner at the wire. FOG D'ORO travelled outside another two wide on the initial bend, made no progression outside a dawdling pace down the backstretch, came with a rally three wide around runners prompting the issue at the quarter pole, could not continue on with the front pair by the furlong pole but still finished up well enough to be alone at the finish line capturing the show award. FOUND MONEY was brushed between foes on the start, sat contently on the outside of the pacesetter on the first of two turns, remained outside the leader applying no pressure with the pace coming to a walk midway down the backstretch, moved in two wide making a bid being forced to go by the outside foe who was also commencing a run at the quarter pole, shifted to the three path for the stretch drive, lacked a rally being relegated to last with a furlong remaining but did show late grit to be resurgent in the final seventy yards capturing a minor placing. BILDEAN broke outwards on the start, was well positioned on the fence keeping a close eye on the pacesetter while sitting in midfield, was roused for more on the rail at the quarter pole shaving the corner coming with mild run, had a chance for a piece of the prize in upper stretch but came up empty inside of rivals in the final eighth of a mile.
