Footnotes
CIEL was guided inward early then quickly moved up between runners leaving the half, got in a bit then steadied off the heels of the dueling leaders into the turn, remained in hand tracking mid turn, eased out three wide into the lane, drifted in when forging to command near mid stretch, eagerly kicked clear and was steadily hand ridden the final seventy yards. WATCH ME NOW was rated back at the break, edged up wide past the half, dropped inside to continue progress around the turn, eased out in upper stretch, advanced between foes near the the sixteenth marker and kept on gamely to gain the place. BERNDT MARSHMALLOW , between rivals early, chased to the inside of a rival into the turn, circled four wide with pursuit into the stretch then churned on. OUR PACT had speed to lead early, was headed from the inside but stayed on to battle, could not quite go with the leader past the five sixteenths then was fanned four wide into the lane, picked things back up with a run past mid stretch then gave way grudgingly in the final yards. PERFECTO , unruly behind the gate, went up along the inside to put a head in front after about a furlong, dueled into the turn, shook clear nearing the lane, failed to contain the winner leaving mid stretch and weakened late. FIVE POCKETS , four to five wide, finished evenly. SPIDERS REVENGE drifted in at the break bumping a rival, checked repeatedly off heels from the half to the far turn, regrouped to make a run between foes near the quarter pole, angled in leaving the three sixteenths and finished with some effort. E Z WORDS hopped at the break, was bumped soon after, saved ground with early pursuit and faded. RAISE THE BET ducked in at the break and was off slowly, angled out nearing the turn and failed to menace. LIBO RIDGE , reluctant to load, was loaded without the rider, flashed speed then retreated into the turn.
