ESMARK was reserved early in the two path, advanced on the far turn two to four wide, swung out six wide leaving the turn and closed well under right handed crop urging and then got up late under vigorous handling to prove best. WAR AND MAJESTY was well rated along the inside, saved ground throughout and made a inside bid leaving the turn to be clear by the furlong marker but was caught late and was second best. FATEFUL LIGHTNING was allowed to settle early and made way to the rail, saved ground on the far turn and cut the corner leaving the turn and made a inside bid to the furlong marker, angled off the inside nearing the sixteenth marker but needed more late. AMBITION was allowed to settle early three wide, advanced three to four wide on the far turn and came five wide off the bend and made a bid but flattened out late while besting the rest. ASTAR was reserved early on the inside, saved ground on the far turn and came two wide off the bend, encountered some traffic nearing the furlong marker and angled out for racing room and had some late kick. KEEN TALENT pressed the early pace three to two wide on the first turn, then tracked the leader three wide on the far turn, came four wide off the bend but faded in the final furlong. MOBSTER set a pressured pace on the inside, then relented and moved out to the two path nearing the half mile marker to tracked the pace, came three wide into the lane and faded. GOT STRIPES was allowed to settle two wide and had no rally. WESTERN RUN was keen on the outside and five to four wide on the first turn, went on to set the pace and shake clear and moved towards the inside, clear on the far turn and came two wide off the bend and weakened. NOMOLIMBO hopped and was off slowly at the start, four wide on the first turn and failed to menace. BANDED HUMOR was void of early speed and never factored. ZAP D'ETAT was four to three wide into the first turn, then settled between rivals and stopped.
