ACCELERATED NEWS broke out at the start bumping MANHATTAN BEAUTY, chased five then four wide in aim of the front down the backstretch, advanced four wide through the turn stacking outside the top trio vying for command with five-sixteenths to go, swung four wide into upper stretch and seized command straightened away, went clear under a drive to score. OUR PREFERRED PAL got carried out at the break by MISS IM PULSIVE, prompted that rival from the outside in the two path before advancing between rivals through the turn to vie for command, continued just off the inside into upper stretch, proved no match for the top one while keeping on to secure the place honors. LADY ANGELINA broke in a step at the start, led briefly before pressing the pace of MISS IM PULSIVE from the three path, advanced to vied between foes through the turn, continued three wide for home and tired. MISS IM PULSIVE struck the off side stall at the start when breaking outwards and then carried out OUR PREFERRED PAL briefly afterwards, cut the pace under pressure from a pair and then a trio and then vied inside three rivals through the turn clinging to command, took the inside route into upper stretch and yielded the front, then tired through to the finish. SUNSHINE LILY fell to her face at the start when stumbling badly, the rider showing sound balance and agility to stay onboard, and conceded four to five lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased along the inside coming under urging three furlongs out, angled five wide into upper stretch and was unable to make an impact. MANHATTAN BEAUTY got bumped at the start by ACCELERATED NEWS, who broke inwards, chased six then five paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking three then two wide through the turn, angled four to five wide into upper stretch and was eased home to the finish.
