BACK RIVER was allowed to settle into stride at the back of the pack in the early going, started to make a strong rally at the three eighths pole circling around rivals three wide to bid for the lead in the four path outside by the quarter pole, was full of run six wide at the top of the lane and powered past at the furlong marker to win going away at the wire. CLIVE CROSS had an outside position in the middle of the pack along the backstretch, took closer order with a half mile remaining, edged up three wide around the bend to be in the hunt between foes two furlongs from home, shifted out in the five path in tight quarters in upper stretch battling for the lead, could not continue on with the outside winner who had more at the eighth pole but did finish up smartly to win the runners up share in the end. GUARD OF HONOUR was hustled at the break angling in down the backstretch to be the sole leader on the fence by the half, was clinging onto the lead on the rail with three outside runners bearing down with a quarter mile to run, veered out sharply to the four path when inside rivals driving at the top of the stretch, was no match for the winner at the eighth pole and lost the duel for third in the final seventy yards. GOLDEN TEST was checked when crowded between foes entering the backstretch to sit in midfield on the rail by the half, took the short way around on the bend inching up on the fence turning for home, had a chance inside for a share of the prize in upper stretch but could not find more late unable to threaten in the final furlong. GET OUT THE VOTE pressed the pace on the rail early on, was reined in giving inside position to the leader midway down the backside, shifted to the outside by the half, hounded the pace outside through the turn, continued to fight on when in the mix between foes in the two path at the quarter pole, was steadied sharply losing his path four wide at the top of the stretch and could not recover in time to play a role in the late running.
