SUGAR IT'S ELI tracked four wide on the outside into the first turn, had an ideal spot on the outside of a rival watching the engaged pair at the half, moved in outside seizing control at the quarter pole, opened up at the furlong marker and held safe for the win. ZAKHARI was in front under a tight hold on the rail in the early going, lost the lead to hound the new frontrunner inside down the backstretch, chased the pace on the fence throughout the turn, kept on coming four wide down the stretch and came back on late to hold for the runners up share at the wire. MODDASSAH was away a step slow to begin having one foe beaten in the early stages, was roused starting a rally when bursting between runners at the five sixteenths pole, skimmed the fence turning for home and kept inching closer down the stretch on the rail but just missed out on the nod for the second place share in a tight photo. TRINITY PARK nestled on the rail in mid-pack, narrowed the margin between rivals in the two path stalking in the third flight, edged closer two wide around the far turn, shifted out for the drive in the three path, kept on grinding outside in the final furlong but had to settle for a minor role when on the losing end of a three way finish for the second money. PHANTOM JEWEL was off slowly on the break, stalked close to the back of the pack three wide in the first bend, improved four deep outside foes down the backside, kept pace three wide through the final turn, shifted out six wide straightening out for the drive and finished up evenly to the finish line. HATMAKER GIZMO stalked between runners in the third tier, moved in closer inside to be in the second flight at the half, found more when nudged three wide at the quarter pole to be in range in the five path in upper stretch, could not sustain the run and stalled in deep stretch. LONHRO'S GAMBLE travelled between horses in midfield, was shuffled back some positions along the backside, made little impression three wide around the final turn and in the four path showed little down the lane. STAR SCHOLAR was unhurried to trail in the early parts of the race, passed a stopping foe outside at the quarter pole, angled out six wide at the top of the lane and managed to go by another struggling runner in mid-stretch. STRETCH PASS pressed the pace on the outside, took over the front between rivals at the five eighths pole, had no answer when collared outside by the winner at the quarter pole and while on the wrong lead shortened stride stopping at the furlong marker on the fence. SMART ALMASTY was tucked in on the fence in the first turn behind the leader, settled on the rail in midfield along the backside, was hard ridden but was backing away with five sixteenths from home and had nothing left to offer in the stretch run.
