MEYER had a nice set up all alone settling in a good rhythm watching the loose leader, was coaxed three furlongs out reeling in the pacesetter through the far turn, cruised on past outside taking control at the quarter pole, opened up on rivals at the furlong marker and held safe, comfortably in first when crossing the finish line. LEGAL CATCH was nestled on the inside in midfield, waited on the fence for the cue to move around the last turn, skimmed the rail straightening out for home, rallied inside foes at the furlong pole, shifted out in the two path reaching for more ground and finished up smartly but was just second best to the winner who had it all his own way. JIM'S HOPE was situated on the rail ahead a rival down the backstretch, made no progression three wide around the final bend, shifted out finding a clear lane six wide by mid-stretch and closed in belatedly to be a clear but non threatening third in the end. SILENT SUNDAY travelled in the two path in mid-pack down the backside, was in tight three wide between horses looking for a seam throughout the far turn, had no room to move when stuck behind a tiring foe in the three path with a sixteenth remaining, was checked repeatedly late but still fought on gamely weaving between runners in deep stretch to get up for a minor placing. DAY TRIPPER was eager under restraint taking this field into the first turn, rolled along up front quickening the pace along the backside, offered little resistance on the rail when the winner swept on past with a quarter mile left to run, chased briefly in upper stretch but eventually faded on the fence with seventy yards from the finish line. NOAHS ARK settled on the outside ahead of one foe in the beginning, continued to stalk near the rear on the outside down the backstretch, kept pace with others moving three wide in the third flight in the far turn, was in tight looking for running room in the five path in upper stretch and stalled when trapped behind a weakening rival in the final furlong. ONENIGHTSTANDARDS was three wide in the third tier, came under a ride gaining some ground on the lead duo by the quarter pole, moved in closer to be in range in the five path if good enough turning for home but could only finish up one paced to the wire. EXUDE travelled on the rail in the third grouping, was roused for more on the fence through the far turn trying to maintain forward position with three eighths remaining, dueled three wide for the third place money in early stretch but had little left and folded at the seventy yard marker. DERBY STREET broke in a tangle to trail in the beginning, caught up to the field three deep at the half, made little impression around the last turn going four wide, swung out widest in the seven path at the top of the lane and could not factor outside in the stretch running. SUNRISE DRIVE advanced four wide outside horses in the first turn, stalked three deep ahead of a few runners down the backside, offered a brief run four wide around horses with five sixteenths from the prize, had nothing left by the time he straightened out in the six path for the drive and retreated in upper stretch. AMERICAN DECISION tracked the front two in the third flight with runners on both sides, chased the lead pair while in the two path around the final turn, angled out five wide battling for the show award at the top of the stretch but stopped in the final furlong.
