GROOT had the rail position keeping in range of the loose frontrunner while inside two others along the backstretch, was shuffled back on the rail at the three eighths pole, shifted out thinking an outside rally at the quarter pole, cleverly darted back inside coming with a run skimming the fence in upper stretch, shifted off the leader two wide at the furlong pole coming on and determinedly inched away outside in deep stretch for the win. MAGIC POWER assumed command from the onset, travelled comfortably loose up top down the backside, continued on uncontested well within himself dictating the pace throughout the turn, responded well when urged for more in the two path in upper stretch but could not find another gear on the fence in deep stretch just getting nabbed for the for victory in the final few jumps outside by the winner. JMR SPEEDY ESCAPE settled between foes watching the frontrunner, chased the leader while inside another around the bend, remained in the thick of things three wide between horses in upper stretch, could not accelerate enough to keep up to the lead duo by the eighth pole but still finished up well enough to be a clear third at the wire. TIGER TOWN was jostled around between horses on the break, stalked near the rear down the backside, narrowed the margin on the turn coming with a good run three to four wide at the quarter pole, had a chance in the five path for a piece of the prize outside runners in upper stretch but could not sustain the rally stalling at the furling pole. COOLER MAN was unhurried seeing the field in the early going, still trailed make little advancement around the oval, angled to the four oath at the top of the lane but could only rally enough to pass a weary rival outside in the final furlong. COMMANDER AT SEA tracked the lone speed three deep down the backside at th3 half, continued on three wide moving in closing the gap on the turn at the quarter pole, angled to the four path in the mix for a small share between horses at the top of the stretch, had little to offer in the late drive and yielded to rivals on the fence by the furlong marker.
