DONTGOBACKONURWORD was unhurried in last at the start, moved in getting better inside position by the half, continued to edge up inside foes through the turn, skimmed the fence to be a menacing presence at the top of the stretch, darted past inside at the furlong marker and won going away in an impressive debut. HOLIDAY SNOOZE broke in at the start to co-trail between runners with a half mile to run, started to mount a rally four wide between foes at the quarter pole, shifted out in the five-path having clear run at the top of the lane and closed in belatedly to get up for the place award. PERFECTWORKS settled in mid-pack between rivals in the beginning, dropped back three deep on the outside having company at rear with four furlongs to go, tried to swoop around rivals while going three to seven wide on the turn, stayed on the left lead for the drive but did show tenacity, kept trying to the finish line and got up late for the show money. BEE ME pressed the pace holding inside position down the backside, closed in to poke its head in front by the three-furlong marker, rambled on up top to have a clear advantage three wide straightening for home, had no answer when the winner flew by on the rail at the eighth pole and faded late losing a couple more positions. EL DIABLITO sat just off the top two while between horses in the early going, took closer order three wide at the three eighths marker, continued to move in to be in the hunt in the four-path turning for home, could not sustain the run and stalled between foes in deep stretch. RHUMBABA settled three deep in midfield rating kindly along the backside, kept pace but was travelling four wide around the turn, shifted out in the six path turning for home and failed to fire in the lane. VIDEO EVIDENCE veered on the break, was hustled moving three deep on the outside taking the lead shortly after the start, could not get to the fence along the backstretch having pressure inside, gave way up top between rivals by the three eighths pole, backed away through the field at the quarter pole and shortened stride when emptying out in upper stretch.
