TRUE SHOT had a good position between horses watching the top duo in the early going, kept a close eye on the engaged trio down the backstretch, edged up on the fence at the five sixteenths pole, sat just behind the pacesetter three wide turning for home looking for a seam, shifted inside to the rail having clear run in the final furlong and got up in the final few strides with a late burst for the win. BLONDINA'S BOY assumed the lead under the wire for the very first time, continued up top while hounded outside by a couple of rivals down the backstretch, spurted loose midway on the last bend, had rivals bearing down while clinging onto the front while drifting out at the furlong marker and gave way grudgingly in deep stretch for the win but did manage to save the place share in a picture. SOL DE VERANO was off a step slow breaking inwards at the start, made an early move circling around runners four wide on the first turn, prompted the pace three deep along the backside, was scrubbed on chasing the leader four wide on the final bend to be in the mix in the five path straightening out for home and was gaining gradually in the late running but was on the losing end of a three way photo for the win and place positions at the wire. DARE TO BE KING co-trailed on the inside in the beginning, was still unhurried seeing the field along the backside, started to go by rivals outside at the half, made little movement when hard ridden around the far turn, shifted out five wide off the leaders in mid-stretch and finished with interest to just get up for a minor share in the end. BIG BABY HENRY tracked on the outside keeping a close eye on the pacesetter in the first turn, was forced to move in holding position while an outside rival made an early charge entering the backstretch to force the pace, came under a ride watching the leader in the two path between horses on the far turn, was in the hunt four wide with rivals on both sides at the top of the lane, had to be checked losing his path at the furlong pole and could not recover late to hold for a minor role in the end. DANCING IN RIO was nestled on the rail watching the front duo in the first turn, dropped back through the back straight to be at the rear by the half, lagged well behind the field on the final bend but did run on down the lane unable to gain position but did narrow the margin on rivals at the finish line. STEWARDS INQUIRY IN MID-STRETCH AS WELL AS RIDERS CLAIM OF FOUL #6 BIG BABY HENRY AGAINST #3 SOL DE VRANO AND #4 BLONDINAS BOY COMING TO THE SIXTEENTH POLE RESULTED IN NO CHANGE
