SPURGEON broke slowly, lagged behind leaving the chute, narrowed the gap on the rest in the three to four path around the turn, swung out six to seven wide while picking up stride into the lane, rallied widest to circle foes in upper stretch, gained an advantage nearing the furlong grounds and drew clear while being put to hand. BATTER UP broke a step slow, tracked two wide and between horses, tipped four to five wide entering the lane, rallied to bid along with an outer foe approaching midstretch, but got outkicked at the furlong grounds and was second best. LEVITATING laid off of the pace three wide, improved position while chasing from the four path into the turn, fanned five to six wide into the lane, hung on his left lead between horses in upper stretch, changed over in midstretch after getting outkicked, then ran on to vie for show late and held from an inner challenger. MIDNIGHT SURVIVOR bobbled a bit at the start, tracked along the inside, awaited racing room nearing the lane, tipped out to the three path into upper stretch, ran on between rivals in the final furlong and missed show. DR. NIKO tracked in the five to four path before advancing to press the top pair at the half mile pole, vied three deep around the turn, sparred in the four path in upper stretch, but got outkicked by an outer pair reaching midstretch and weakened. STRAIGHTAWAY vied two wide, then between horses into and around the turn, but faded in upper stretch. POP PAUL vied for the lead along the inside, then with an outer pair around the turn and faded in upper stretch. RAISING KANE broke outwardly, vied outside of foes early on, but bore outwardly entering the backstretch, gave way before taking the turn in the seven path, lugged wider into the lane and was eased thereafter.
