RAFAROO was quite content to sit inside flanking the pacesetter down the backstretch, continued on the rail forcing the issue around the bend, edged away three wide at the top of the stretch and was going away for the win in the late stages. LUMBERYARD was away alertly for a slim lead outside down the backstretch, continued to battle up front outside around the turn for the top spot, relinquished the front four wide at the top of the lane, dug in stubbornly chasing the winner to the wire and stayed on to best the rest in the end. MAP'S A BREEZE broke in at the start, settled in midfield between foes three wide down the back straight, ran evenly in the two path throughout the turn, mounted a rally two wide at the furlong marker and with one final surge got up on the fence at the finish line to win the show award in a photo. HIGHLAND BLUE was squeezed hard between rivals at the break, recouped to track the contesting duo outside a rival along the backside, kept pace with the lead two around the bend, shifted out five wide in the mix in upper stretch, drifted inwards dueling for the show money at the eighth pole and just missed holding for third place at the wire. DRAW BOOT travelled four deep in mid-division down the backside, closed the gap outside going four wide around horses in the turn, shifted out to the six path turning for home but failed to be a menace in the stretch running. BEYOND ADVERSITY settled close to the back of the pack running on the fence, stalked in the third flight on the rail saving all the ground through the bend, shifted out to the two path by mid-stretch off a tiring foe but failed to fire in the late stages. RAYMORE broke out on the start, tracked the engaged pair on the rail in the early stages, moved in taking the short way around the turn to be in the hunt on the fence in upper stretch, had little left when asked for more at the furlong marker and was not persevered with late. AWMIK SIDE OF TOWN stalked near the rear travelling three deep, dropped back to last at the three-furlong marker, lost touch with the pack around the bend and galloped across the finish line.
