PROFESSOR RELOAD was jostled between rivals on the break, travelled five wide at the rear outside heading into the first of two turns, improved around horses through the initial bend, galloped along in midfield by the half, made a sharp move swooping outside horses four wide at the three eighths pole to get his head in front with a quarter mile from home, opened up slightly at the furlong pole and held safe albeit by a shrinking margin at the wire. CARRICK ON STAGE had the rail keeping a close eye on the frontrunner, settled into stride inside another in the second flight down the back straight, edged up on the rail having three furlongs still to run, waited to move at the quarter pole behind the engaged trio, shifted to the three path in the thick of things turning for home and ran on willingly between rivals getting closer to the winner late but settling for second best at the finish. SOUPER VINNIE had a tracking spot between runners, rated kindly outside in the second pairing down the backstretch, began to lengthen stride when urged on midway around the far turn to be three wide in the mix at the top of the stretch and finished up gradually outside foes in the final furlong to settle for the show money in the end. FRIENDLY settled close to the back inside in the beginning, stalked ahead of only one runner down the back straight, was scrubbed on for more at the three furlong pole offering little response around the final bend, angled out five wide turning for home and was one paced down the lane but did manage to catch the leg weary frontrunner in the shadow of the wire for a minor role. PLEASE DON'T GO cleared from the outer post getting to the rail taking this field around the first turn, narrowly had the lead inside down the backstretch, edged away at the three furlong pole, was collared outside by the winner with a quarter mile remaining, tried to counter on the fence briefly in upper stretch and wilted inside horses in the final sixteenth. GINGER'S HOLIDAY was bumped on the outside shortly after leaving the gate, settled close to the back in the four path between rivals early on, could see the field along the backside and throughout the final bend, moved to the four path for the drive to the wire but could not get involved. ARRAKASTA IZAN watched the leader while going three wide on the first turn outside foes, took closer order down the backstretch to shadow the pace at the half, was roused at the five sixteenths pole for more but could not quicken with rivals on either side making a run at the quarter marker and folded widest in the six path at the top of the lane.
