SWIFT DELIVERY broke inwards brushing the gate at the start, was allowed to gather himself on the rail close to the back in the early going, made a savvy move for position splitting foes at the seven sixteenths pole, confidently cruised around horses three wide on the final bend, was set down four wide in upper stretch and drove past the leader pulling away at the furlong marker to prevail comfortably at the finish for the eye catching win. DRESDEN ROW rated kindly under a tight hold sitting just behind the leader in the first of two turns, was all alone watching the engaged trio at the half, dropped back lacking room unable to make a run at the three furlong pole while the outside runners were swooping around him on the far turn, picked up the bit when urged to go at the quarter pole three wide between horses, shifted out six wide full of run at the top of the stretch but could not get to the winner who got the jump on him turning for home. PARAMOUNT PRINCE dictated the soft pace up front taking the group into the first turn, was relegated to a tracking role at the half with another challenger making an early move outside midway down the backstretch, settled on the fence waiting for room to move while shuffled back slightly at the five sixteenths pole, angled out finding a seam four wide in mid-stretch, came with late energy at the sixteenth pole but had to settle for the third place prize at the wire. CLASSIC MO TOWN was unhurried trailing the field in the early stages on the rail, took the short way around the last turn closing the gap smartly by the quarter pole, skimmed the fence mounting a rally inside runners having a chance for a minor share by mid-stretch and finished up mildly to the wire to settle on the fringes in the end. ESSEX SERPENT shadowed the pacesetter on the outside in the beginning, tracked the new frontrunner outside another rival in the two path with a half mile remaining, edged up two wide at the five sixteenths pole, was in tight losing momentum between foes at the quarter marker, shifted out five wide with runners on each side but had to be checked slightly losing his path as well as switching back to the incorrect lead at the furlong marker but showed grit trying to come back on again when crossing the finish line. BAIL US OUT travelled in the two path in midfield on the first turn, stalked in the third flight down the backside outside the eventual winner at the half, was hard ridden making a brief move three wide at the three furlong marker to angle out widest in the seven path turning for home, drifted inwards at the eighth pole and lacked a rally in the three path in deep stretch. LAC MACAZA travelled three wide near the rear into the first turn, continued three wide circling around rivals in the initial bend, sensing the slow pace made an early move pulling the rider three deep outside foes to assume command with a half mile left to run, had the lead up top on the rail only by a diminishing advantage at the quarter pole, was collared outside by the winner straightening out for home and fought on inside until the sixteenth pole before giving way in deep stretch.
