CRUCIAL TAUNT was under a snug hold, slightly eager on the rail behind the pacesetter down the backside, settled into stride smartly waiting for the cue to go behind the contesting duo through the turn, angled out to the three-path pushing through between rivals having a clear run at the top of the lane and drew away convincingly in deep stretch for the win. KNOWING had a tracking role between rivals down the back straight, dropped back slightly into the turn to sit midfield around the oval, skimmed the fence turning for home to be in the mix in upper stretch, shifted out making a late run in the two path with runners on each side at the furlong marker and got up in the shadow of the wire for the runners up share. GLORIOUS REVENGE caught a flyer on the break to be loose up top in the beginning, set an even tempo narrowly up front inside around the bend, was collared outside by the winner at the furlong pole, offered little resistance and faded in the last seventy yards to miss out holding onto the place share at the finish line. REGGIE BOY travelled three deep watching the lead pair in the early going, moved in to prompt the issue outside throughout the turn, was forced out by the winner to be four wide still in the hunt at the top of the stretch and finished up evenly to the wire to settle on the fringes in the end. BLACK THUNDER broke out on the start, co-trailed on the outside along the backside, offered a brief run three wide outside in midturn, shifted out to the five path for the drive but could not offer a closing finish in the late stages. CHIEF LIONHART broke with the field on the start, quickly dropped back while being encouraged for more inside to co-trail inside along the backside, took the short way around the turn but was losing ground to runners and could not be a factor in the stretch running.
