SURFACE TO AIR tracked on the inside, bid three wide on the far turn, charged to the front at the quarter pole, edged away to a short lead in upper stretch, dug in gamely outside of FIRST MISSION in the final sixteenth and kept that rival at bay. FIRST MISSION raced three wide early, then stalked close up two wide, pressed the pacesetter on the backside, bid two wide entering the far turn, briefly led, then dug in gamely on the rail in the stretch run and battled willingly to the end. REPO ROCKS set the pace on the inside, dueled inside on the far turn, angled out entering the stretch, stayed on well and earned the show award. VITALITY raced off the pace inside, chased inside on the far turn and failed to threaten. GRAN YACO raced off the rail, off the pace, lacked a response when asked, then tired.
