NILE PASSAGE broke out at the start, had the early lead in the two path under the wire for the first time, took back being reined in midpoint of the initial bend letting the outside rival go on with it up top, shifted outside tracking the frontrunner at the half, regained control by the seven sixteenths pole, rolled along unopposed around the final bend, spurted away from her closest pursuers in mid-stretch and held safe at the wire for the win. RATINGS UPGRADE (IRE) was unhurried inside being a joint last in the beginning, took closer order lengthening stride heading into the last turn had no running room stuck behind the tiring early frontrunner from the three eighths poke u til shift out at the quarter marker and when clear rushed home down tge stretch but could only finish up a troubled second best behind the winner. PIPINNA was in tight between horses on the break, had company outside sitting in mid-division throughout, angled to the five path finding her best stride in the drive and closed in belatedly outside just getting up at the finish line for the show money. TAN TOAST hopped at the start, kept a close eye inside on the leader on the first bend, sat isolated rating kindly behind the front three rivals down the backstretch, edged up two wide around the far turn in the mix at the top if the stretch but evened out in the last furlong just getting nabbed outside at the wire settling for only a minor share in the end. RELOAD EH travelled in midfield outside another, started to come with a good rally around foes three wide at the five sixteenths pole, remained in the three path in with a shot for a small share in upper stretch but stalled with a sixteenth left to run. GREENWICH PIKE was forwardly placed in the mix up front between foes in the beginning, had a good spot outside watching the loose leader down the backstretch, chased the eventual two wide through the far turn as well as down the lane but had little left and wilted between horses in the final seventy yards losing a few placings very late. SUNNYVILLE settled close to the back having only a couple of runners beaten, was relegated to the tail end between foes at the half, closed the gap on the field three wide by the quarter pole, swung out widest in the six path turning for home but showed little, lacking a rally in the stretch drive. CONQUER THE STORM co-trailed on the outside in the early stages, was spinning her wheels three wide on the far turn unable to keep up to runners by the three eighths marker and could only manage to pass the leg weary early frontrunner. DIXIE DOLL was hard sent from the outside making his intentions know getting a clear lead outside midway around the first turn, set a lively pace loose up top along the backside, had no answer when the winner seized control powering past at the seven sixteenths marker, dropped back steadily on the rail throughout the last bend and emptied out in the fence, running out of gas by the eighth pole.
