LUCKY ROMANCE had a good spot on the outside watching the engaged pair down the backside, was forced to take closer order vying between runners at the three furlong pole, dueled with rivals on either side around the bend, battled head to head outside with a tenacious frontrunner down the lane and found a little bit more under a busy ride late to edge away between horses in deep stretch for the gutsy win. BACKONTHECHAINGANG pulled the rider to the lead just off the rail down the backside, maintained a head in front on the fence with a couple of challengers pressing outside through the turn, was stubbornly clinging inside up front through the stretch drive but was just outkicked in the final seventy yards by the winner all the while just saving the place share in a thrilling finish at the wire. SECRET THREAT settled near the rear inside early on, kept pace while between horses in the tracking back trio around the oval, shifted out in the four path in the mix in upper stretch, was steadily gaining outside on the contesting duo in the last eighth of a mile but just fell short of getting there, losing the three way win picture outside at the finish line. GLINTINDADDYSEYE was away alertly up top at the beginning, pressed the pace inside through the backstretch, dropped back unable to maintain forward position on the fence entering the turn, made no gain taking the shortest route around the bend, hugged the rail straightening out for the drive and finished up one paced being a fringe player in the end. COOLER MAN stalked three deep unhurried at the back of the pack down the backside, travelled three wide outside two other rivals in the second group around the turn making little progression, offered a brief rally gathering some speed swinging widest in the six path at the head of the lane but could not offer a stretch finish outside rivals in the late running. CRUCIAL TAUNT travelled outside four deep off runners in midfield, made an early move going three wide bidding for the lead outside at the three furlong marker, could not keep up to the contesting lead pair by the quarter pole and folded five wide between horses turning for home.
