FRANKNESS was content to sit all alone watching the frontrunner with the field strung out at the half, was asked for more under a right handed crop coming to the quarter pole reaching for more ground, had aim shifting to the three path posing the only threat to the leader in upper stretch and with relentless pursuit wore the inside pacesetter in deep stretch for the win. CAJUN INFLUENCE was keen loose on the front end down the backside, settled into a rhythm rolling along unchallenged through the turn, had the two path in command at the top of the stretch, was clinging onto a dwindling advanatage with a sixteenth to go but could not fend off the winner outside in the final few jumps. EUBANK was five deep in the early scramble up top leaving the gate, regressed down the backside to have only a couple of runners beaten midway along the backside, travelled two to three wide making little impact around the oval, angled out to the five path in mid-stretch staying on the incorrect lead but with steady left handed encouragement closed in in the late running to win the show duel inside at the finish line. TIMEFRAME dropped back to last on the rail at the five furlong marker, lagged well behind the group on the turn shifting outside at the five sixteenths pole, swung out widest in the six path finding his best stride outside through the stretch drive and with a good late charge closed in just losing the nod for the show money at the wire. KNOWING stumbled on the break, had the third flight outside with a half mile remaining, chased the front duo three wide outside but making no gain around the oval, angled to the four path entering the stretch in with a chance for a piece of the prize but did not switch leads down the lane and faded at the seventy yard marking losing a couple of placings to outside runners in the late going. SPEIGHTS WILL bobbled to the outside on the start, travelled in the third flight paired up with an outside rival at the half, was driven on two wide still in tandem inside another trying to keep up to the front two runners by the quarter pole, shifted to the three path dueling for the third place share in uper stretch but tired inside runners in the last furlong. WELL LIT was away slowly trailing on the break, had one runner beaten along the backside and throughout the turn, hug the rail briefly passing an outside foe turning for home but could not find more in the drive to the finish line and faltered inside rivals in the final eighth of a mile.
