AWESOME BOURBON had a good spot in the early stages nestled on the rail drafting behind the pacesetter moving comfortably, waited for the cue to go on the rail through the far turn behind the dueling pair, shifted out three wide very much in the conversation up top straightening out for home, stayed on the wrong lead but nevertheless kept grinding away down the stretch and pulled away from rivals in the last sixteenth. RAPID TEST travelled three wide outside rivals in midfield early on,, stalked along the backside making little movement, was relegated to last at the three furlong pole saving ground through the final turn, shifted two wide looking for running room in upper stretch, angled to the three path having clear run on the battling lead pair at the sixteenth on the outside and surged in deep stretch to get up for the runners up share in the shadow of the wire. ICE CHOCOLAT (BRZ) had a tracking role between foes on the first turn, kept a close eye measuring the pacesetter down the backstretch, was forced to move for the lead between runners when the outside rival tried to circle three wide around horses at the three eighths pole, battled outside up top at the quarter pole, poked his head in front at the head of the lane but could not fight on inside with the winner charging on by at the sixteenth pole and was just caught late for the secondary share at the finish line. NEVER SURPRISED broke out brushing a rival on the start, had trouble navigating the first turn bearing out four wide while at the rear, trailed the field outside down the back straight, was roused making a mild move outside another at the five sixteenths pole, swung out widest in the six path turning for home and ran on evenly passing weary inside runners coming up to the sixteenth pole. HUNT MASTER was loose up top on the fence in the first turn, continued unchallenged up front setting a lively pace down the backside, fought on inside two others just holding onto the lead on the last turn, was collared outside by the quarter pole, could not find more skimming the fence in upper stretch and weakened on the rail at the eighth pole. PIPER'S FACTOR was reined back under the wire for the first time to stalk on the outside in the beginning, made an early move advancing sharply outside horses down the backstretch to bid for the lead three wide at the three eighths marker, could not sustain the run while under urging stalling by the quarter pole and tired five wide between foes by the furlong marker.
