NAPA SPIRIT (IRE) broke a step slow on the start, darted between foes to seize command at the five eighths pole, cruised along unchallenged up top around the bend, had company closing in one either side at the top of the stretch, was asked for more with a furlong remaining and held on for the win when crossing the wire. BANKER'S HOURS was nestled on the rail watching the top two runners in the early going, inched up, taking the short way around the bend, skimmed the fence looking like the main opposition turning for home, was gradually getting the winner in deep stretch but could not get there in the end. CANADIAN AVRO was situated four deep, tracking in the second flight outside, made an early move getting position to force the issue into the turn, chased the winner to no avail through the bend, still was in the hunt four wide in upper stretch though but could not threaten the top two in deep stretch and captured the show money being a clear third at the wire. COMMANDER AT SEA was void of early speed to see the field down the backstretch, edged closer on the fence around the turn, shifted out to the five path for the drive and passed tiring runners while moving to the rail in the last sixteenth to settle on the fringes. DANCIN' DEPUTY was hustled on the break having the early lead, relinquished the front at the five furlong pole, continued to drop back further along the backside, made little impression through the turn and played no factor outside in the three path in the late stages. BLAME J D travelled in the three path between foes in the second flight in the beginning, kept pace three wide outside horses on the turn but was under a ride, angled to the five path at the top of the lane and yielded outside to other rivals in the last sixteenth while dueling for a minor placing late.
