HOULIHAN rated kindly in the second flight on the outside down the backstretch, improved smartly three wide closing in on the leader around the bend, loomed outside in the five path in upper stretch and wore down the two inside challengers down the lane to edge away for the victory in the final seventy yards. KIMBERLINA forced the issue inside in the beginning, let the pacesetter go ahead at the half still keeping a close eye on that rival, travelled inside the winner in the second flight around the bend inching up by the quarter pole, shifted four wide between foes turning for home, vied for the lead at the furlong pole, kept on trying until the end but needed just a bit more late to threaten the winner at the wire. TENTOMIDNIGHT broke in at the start, had a slim lead on the outside in the early going, shook clear by the half, rolled along unchallenged around the oval, still was up top but clinging onto the lead inside three wide by mid-stretch, could not find something in reserve for the late running and gave way up top in the final sixteenth of a mile to hold for the show award at the wire. POOKIESLOOKINGFIRE was pushed in on the break, stalked close to the back having a couple of runners beaten down the backside, improved mildly advancing outside passing a foe at the five sixteenths pole, angled out five wide with a chance for a piece of the prize straightening for home and finished up evenly to be on the fringes in the end. UNCARRICK TERISTIC had a poor start to trail the field by many along the backside, caught up to a runner inside by the three furlong pole and finished up with good late energy in the final furlong reaching for more ground almost getting up for a minor share at the wire. COUNTRY DOLLY settled in the second flight on the inside in the beginning, was scrubbed on for more but was being passed on the outside by another in midturn, shifted to the two path for the drive to the wire but had little to offer and yielded between horses in the final sixteenth of a mile. KOZY BABE stalked on the outside ahead on only the troubled starter in the early stages, was passed inside by a rival to see the field at the three-furlong pole, made little impression around the bend and could not factor three wide in the stretch running.
