NICKI IS A BREEZE travelled three wide in mid-pack early on, galloped along keeping a close eye on the lead twosome down the backside, crept up outside rivals narrowing the margin by the half, moved in three wide at the three-furlong marker to bid for the lead with a quarter mile remaining, began to draw off with a furlong from home and won going away under a hand ride. DAISYCREST rated kindly watching the lone speed into the first of two turns, began to whittle away on the lead at the half mile pole, moved in between rivals to assume control leaving the three furlong pole, had company outside with a quarter mile to run, dug in on the fence fighting back inside until the furlong marker, could not go with the winner late but easily bested the rest for the runners up share at the finish. BLACK GODDESS settled on the rail near the rear in the early stages, co-trailed inside down the backstretch, took the short way around the far turn keeping pace with others, angled out coming up to tired runners three wide splitting horses straightening out for home and finished up mildly through the lane to be a distant third at the wire. CONQUER THE STORM was unhurried trailing the field into the first turn, shifted outside to co-trail with an inside foe down the back straight, was hard ridden outside rivals closing the gap at the three eighths pole, could not threaten the lead duo at the top of the stretch shifting out four wide and finished up one paced outside challengers to garner a minor share in the end. LA RONDE settled in midfield between horses early on, stalked ahead of a couple of rivals narrowing the margin along the backstretch, came under a ride but could not keep up to the front two who had the race to themselves at the quarter pole, dueled for the show award with horses on either side while two wide turning for home but wilted on the fence at the sixteenth pole. ANNIA CORNIFICIA F took advantage of the rail post to take this field into the first turn, was loose up top setting an even pace along the backstretch, was collared outside by two rivals at the three eighths pole, offered little resistance on the fence around the last turn and emptied out inside runners at the top of the lane.
