GALLEY HEAD broke sharp while on the fence up front in the beginning, was reined back under a snug hold on the rail to sit in midfield at the half, crept up saving ground through the turn, rallied up the fence in upper stretch, had a seam darting inside rivals to bid for the lead at the sixteenth pole and edged away for the win coming up to the finish line. HOME FOR A REST pressed the pace between foes early on, was content to lead the frontrunner go while tracking inside down the backstretch, waited for the cue while inside another behind the embattled duo around the bend, shifted out four wide looming boldly at the furlong marker, poked a nose in front briefly in deep stretch but just missed late with the winner getting through on the inside in the late stages. KATHERINE'S GEM had a stalking trip ahead of a couple of runners along the backside, moved in through the turn to track the contesting pair outside, shifted out four wide in the mix for a share in upper stretch, stayed on the incorrect lead to the wire but still managed to fight on determinedly to capture the show award between rivals at the wire. HARD TO CAPTURE was under a tight hold to co-trail on the fence down the backside, was checked ever so slightly to see the field entering the turn, rallied inside horses at the quarter marker, carried the momentum swinging out six wide gathering more speed in mid-stretch and got up for a minor role at the finish outside. STOLEN rated kindly galloping along outside in mid-pack early on, pulled the rider to the leader by the half, pressed the issue outside by midturn, dueled in the three path outside at the top of the lane, could not fend of closing rivals on both sides late and flattened out with a sixteenth of a mile still to go. ADDENDUM broke in on the start, recovered to have the advantage soon after the break, opened up at the half to be loose up top, had pressure to the outside battling for the front around the bend, was clinging onto the lead inside another while two wide straightening out for the drive, had little left in deep stretch and wilted in the final sixteenth. KAVALA co-trailed on the outside down the back straight, made little headway throughout the turn, shifted out five wide for the drive but had little to show in the late stages.
