JUST A GEM was off a step slow to begin, stalked on the outside in the third flight, dropped back at the half ahead of only the troubled starter, had a sharp turn of foot swooping four wide around foes at the quarter pole, swung out gathering more speed six wide turning for home and flew past the leader at the furlong pole, going away convincingly at the wire. GOODNIGHT MY ANGEL was under a tight hold sitting behind the pacesetter on the rail, shifted out to track the leader outside down the back straight, assumed the front between foes with five sixteenths from home, spurted away in upper stretch but had no answer when the winner stormed past at the eight [pole and held on for the secondary share in the end. BEAUTIFUL SKY broke out exchanging bumps with outside rival, stalked in the third flight inside, had to be checked in tight quarters just when starting to make a move two furlongs out losing all momentum, shifted out four wide for clear run in early stretch and closed with a rush to capture third money and threaten for the runners up share in the process as well. MIA MITOLE travelled four wide on the outside in mid-pack around the initial turn, moved in to force the issue three wide on the final bend, was still in the hunt four wide at the top of the stretch, could not go with the lead pair by the furlong marker, dueled outside for third place but was caught by a surging outside foe late. VRANA (IRE) broke in bumping inside foe on the start, tracked between in the early going, was shuffled back a spot or two at the seven sixteenths pole, resurged with a quarter mile to run, battled inside for the show money down the lane but tired in deep stretch. HUMBLE HEART leapt up/tossing her head at the start, was checked inside coming under the wire for the first time rushing up on a fellow rival, had to be checked again angling out midway through the first turn, trailed the field down the backside, angled to the seven path for the stretch run and passed a straggler in mid-stretch. FROGINAPOND took this field into the first turn in the two path, dictated terms unchallenged down the backside, was hard ridden but relinquished midway around the final bend, had nothing left to offer by the quarter pole and folded on the fence by the furlong marker.
