YOSHII broke a step slow on the start, recovered inching up along the backstretch to track on the fence by the half, shifted out on the turn coming with a run at the quarter pole, posed the main opposition three wide at the top of the lane, chipped away at the pacesetter through the stretch drive and got up in the final few strides outside for the determined win. MASTER STEAL was away alertly having the lead on the inside, cleared off by the half, rolled along moving well unopposed throughout the turn, still maintained control just off the rail in mid-stretch but could not fend off the tenacious winner outside late being nabbed in the final seventy yards. ELGIN PARK was under a snug hold near the rear in the two path early on, started to mount a rally inside horses following the eventual winner at the five sixteenths pole, angled to the three path straightening out for home and closed in belatedly for third money unable to threaten the front pair in deep stretch. PROUDLY CANADIAN advanced four deep outside of rivals to settle in mid-pack, offered a mild run trying to circle foes three wide at the five sixteenths pole, shifted to the five path turning for home and ran on only one paced down the lane for a minor award. GO GO ALEXANDER prompted the pace outside in the beginning, tracked outside when the leader shook loose at the half, was scrubbed on for more chasing the frontrunner to no avail in midturn, retreated by the quarter pole and had little left to offer in the stretch drive. NOISY CRICKET had an awkward start bobbling on the break, lagged well behind the group gathering himself down the back straight, still could see the field making no gain around the oval and could not factor in the late running due mainly to the slow beginning.
