OLD CHESTNUT was nudged on seizing control from the onset, travelled very comfortably up top under a quiet ride on the turn, was set down under right handed encouragement at the furlong marker, had more to give in deep stretch and held well at the finish line for the front end score. RUNNIN' ROCKET had the inside settling in midfield along the back straight, saved ground making little movement on the bend, shifted out to the three path having horse while looking for running room, finally had a clear lane five wide at the furlong marker and with open run closed with a late rush to be second best unable to get to the winner in time at the wire. SOCIETY'S THUNDER was situated in mid-division while three deep down the backside, began to mount a rally three wide outside horses at the three furlong marker, reached for more ground gaining momentum circling horses at the quarter pole to be in the mix four wide in upper stretch and ran on willingly between rivals in the final seventy yards to be a clear third getting the show money when crossing the wire. GARDEN OF WAR had a good spot drafting behind the frontrunner in the early stages, kept pace sitting back following the leader on the fence through the turn, shifted out two wide moving into contention at the top of the stretch, could not continue with the rally and evened out in the final furlong to settle on the fringes. RAT PORTAGE was allowed to settle into stride on the fence at the back of the pack, co-trailed inside another foe throughout the turn, swung out widest in the six path for the drive to the wire and finished up with late interest to pass a couple rivals in the stretch running. GIANT TEDDY kept tabs on the lead twosome while three deep outside rivals at the half, moved in smartly three wide closing the gap at the quarter pole to be in the thick of things straightening for home, could not find more late and tired between challengers with a sixteenth still to run. POSEIDON STEEL had a stalking role with rivals on either side, co-trailed outside going three wide on the oval, moved out five wide seeing the field turning for home, darted to the rail by the eighth pole but made little impact in the late running. BABBO tracked inside another in the two path along the back straight, chased between runners hard ridden on the turn, could not keep up to rivals by the quarter pole and folded four wide in upper stretch.
