SMART STRIKER brushed leaving the gate, laid off the pace two wide, picked up stride on the backstretch, bid three deep around the far turn, battled outside rivals into deep stretch and dug in to best ADIOS BUCCANEER late. ADIOS BUCCANEER got bumped three deep chasing into the first turn, stalked after outside a rival, bid two wide with three furlongs remaining, took over past the quarter pole, fought between rivals into deep stretch and yielded grudgingly. MAGIC HEART cleared inner rivals into the first turn and crossed over, showed the way up the backstretch, challenged from outside with three furlongs remaining, vied inside a pair of rivals midway around the bend, lost command past the quarter pole, fought back to the sixteenth marker, yielded late and was able to hold third. CAROOM traveled along the inside towards the rear, advanced next to the fence around the far turn, tipped out into the lane, showed late effort and missed third. COACHES MEETING got bumped between rivals entering the first turn, got put in tight between rivals shortly after, stalked off the rail up the backstretch, tried to move out but got hemmed in at the seven-sixteenths pole, chased two then three wide on the far turn and finished willingly down the lane. BRAMBLE BLAZE tucked inside at the back, ridden along the rail around the far turn and improved position. PRALINE'S CAT got bumped on both sides leaving the gate, raced outside a rival at the back of the pack early, remained well off the pace into the far turn, trailed two wide into the lane and failed to menace. READY TO REIGN settled next to the rail, eased out around the far turn, exited the bend in the three path and lacked further response. BOMB CYCLONE showed early speed then ceded command, shifted out and bumped into the first turn, waited behind the leaders while moving into the two path on the far turn, roused leaving that bend and weakened. MONEY IN MOTION brushed inner rival at the start, reserved three deep in the early going, exited the backstretch two wide, angled out and came four wide into the drive but proved no menace.
