DADDY HAS DIAMONDS broke a step slow trailing down the backside, began to pick up the bit when roused passing a rival outside at the five sixteenths pole, swooped around runners going five wide with a quarter mile still to run, swung out widest in the six path in upper stretch, was flying outside foes down the lane and stormed past the frontrunner in the final seventy yards with an impressive stretch running kick. PHILIP BANKS narrowly had the lead outside in the beginning, edged clear by the half, was headed outside by a few runners at the quarter pole with the rider sitting chilly, spurted away repelling those challengers in upper stretch, moved well bracing for the oncoming charge by the winner at the furlong pole but had no answer when that rival powered past in deep stretch and finished up second best easily besting the rest at the finish line. ROAR OF THE CROWD travelled in mid-pack while three deep outside horses, circled around runners smartly four wide in midturn to bid on the outside up top by the quarter pole, was repelled by the leader at the top of the lane, kept on trying but then was passed on the outside by the eventual winner at the furlong pole and finished up mildly in the late running to just last for the show money at the wire. PAYNES SPIRIT settled between foes in midfield, kept pace with inside two others in the running around the turn, shifted out in the five path finding late energy in the stretch run and just missed closing in for the third-place share, settling on the fringes at the wire. DEMBA travelled near the rear inside rivals, offered a mild run in the two path at three eighths pole, angled out four wide straightening out for home, could not get involved down the lane but did pass a few tired foes in the late running. AWESOME RAINBOW was washy prior to the start, had a stalking trip on the rail close to the back of the pack ahead of a few runners along the backside, dropped back to last on the rail midway on the turn, made a brief rally inside at the quarter pole, hugged the rail for the drive to the wire, shifted off a tiring foe going three wide in upper stretch and finished up one paced in the last furlong. GLASWEIGIAN was brushed on the inside on the break, had a good spot isolated watching the contesting duo early in the backstretch, closed the gap on the turn to battle three wide with rivals on either side for the lead with a quarter mile to go, had little left in the tank having the three path turning for home and folded between rivals at the furlong marker. SUNDAY'S WELL was brushed on the outside on the start, pressed the pace inside in the beginning, was reined back off the leader by the half, moved in on the turn to reengage between rivals in the two path dueling for the lead at the quarter pole, had the fence entering the stretch but could not continue on with others to the wire and flattered inside horses by the eighth pole. DARK DANGER stalked close to the back on the outside, made no progression going four wide through the turn, could not keep up with the eventual winner sweeping past outside at the quarter marker, moved in five wide at the top of the lane but failed to menace in the late stages.
