NYCELY had a head in front under a good hold leaving the chute, relinquished the lead to an inside rival at the five eighths marker tracking the pacesetter through the backstretch, started to reel in the frontrunner at the five sixteenths pole, pounced three wide entering the stretch and pulled away with authority by the furlong marker to coast home comfortably for the win in the late going. SANHEDRIN travelled three deep in the second flight early on, made a sharp move rallying three wide at the quarter pole to be in the hunt having the four path straightening out for home, was no match for the overpowering winner by the furlong pole but fought on gamely to get the photo for the runners up share outside at the wire. BACK STREET DRIVER pressed the pace in the beginning inside, seized command entering the backstretch, rolled along unopposed through the turn, had no answer when collared by the winner outside in mid-stretch and just missed the nod at the finish line for the place share. FOUND MONEY was forwardly placed watching the lead duo while tucked in on the rail, crept closer on the fence by the quarter pole and finished up inside running one paced through the stretch drive to settle on the fringes. ZIP TO ZAP settled close to the back outside of two other rivals, moved up slightly going four wide around the bend and in the five path showed late interest passing rival in the last eighth of a mile. GRAN GHOST veered out having to be grabbed up spotting the field many leaving the gate, made a premature move at the three eighths pole trying to circle runners four wide, advanced around foes five wide at the quarter marker to be widest in the six path in with a chance at the head of the lane but could not sustain the lengthy rally outside and flattened out by the furlong pole. FOG D'ORO kept a close eye on the front pair settling into stride between runners, was scrubbed on for more but was retreating two wide by midturn, shifted to the three path turning for home but had little to offer down the lane. BILDEAN had the rail only ahead of the troubled start along the ba side, made no gain taking the shortest way around the oval and could not get involved in the drive to the wire. MANN COURT settled near the rear having challengers on both sides, was coaxed for more but was relegated to last three wide at the three eighths pole and could not factor in the stretch running.
