MESERO broke a step slow and brushed with an outer rival at the start, settled well back two wide and between horses, shifted out to the four path around the far turn before fanning to the seven path into the lane, rallied while shifting inwardly in the final furlong, bid at the sixteenth pole, drove past late and held from an inner pursuer. STATES' RIGHTS was off slow, laid well back three to four wide before advancing subtly entering the backstretch, took the far turn in the three path, rallied in the two path in upper stretch, but encountered traffic in midstretch, altered out to rally along with an outer foe leaving that station, shifted in and brushed a foe while knifing between rivals in the final sixteenth, claimed place and was kept at bay thereafter. ASSERTIVENESS pressed two wide, bid turning for home, wrestled an advantage leaving the three sixteenths pole, but was caught by a bidder on either side in the final sixteenth and held show.

WARLANDER laid off of the pace in the four path before tugging into the backstretch, chased from the three path around teh far turn, moved out to the six path into upper stretch, got outkicked by an outer foe shortly after and stayed on mildly. AFTER TAXES (IRE) set the pace along teh inside, got headed by an outer presser in upper stretch, then was brushed by an outer foe and forced to steady late while giving way. MIKA stalked three deep, pursued within striking range turning for home, but chased the top pair into the lane and faded between horses. FORTY N FIVE tracked along the inside and under a snug hold into the backstretch, chased into the far turn and gave way around that bend. SOLID LEFT saved grouund off of the pace, but to no avail. CONQUERING CAT pursued from midpack two wide, then between horses into the backstretch, but gave way into the far turn and made little impact. READY FOR PEACE raced off of the pace three wide and between horses while in the bit entering the backstretch, crept closer two wide around the far turn, but flattened out in upper stretch and weakened.
