CAJUN INFLUENCE prompted the pace on the rail in the beginning, seized the lead inside by the half, rolled along through the turn on the fence with little pressure applied by outside rivals, looked vulnerable on the rail with runners bearing down outside in mid-stretch but found another gear in the late running prevailing for the win in deep stretch holding off all foes. LOVER BOY MO had the rail following the pacesetter at the half, sat poised waiting for running room throughout the turn, scraped paint at the top of the stretch, shifted out two wide off the leader posing a threat by the furlong pole, could not get to the stubborn winner late but fought on gamely between foes late getting the nod for the runners up share in a photo at the finish line. MEW N ME was away alertly at the break, had an outside tracking position watching the lone leader down the backside, edged up on the turn turn two wide sitting just back off the frontrunner by the quarter pole, loomed a menacing presence three wide outside at the top of the lane but needed more in the late stages, unable to get to the winner in deep stretch and losing the nod for second money outside at the finish line. CHASING MEMORIES broke out on the start, stalked close to the back sitting just off the rail, travelled four wide narrowing the margin around the bend, angled to the five path at the top of the lane and ran on one paced to the wire to garner a minor placing in the end. KAMASI was brushed by the inside runner on the break, settled near the rear three deep down the back straight, made no progression while going four wide outside of horses on the oval, swung out widest in the six path turning for home and finished up mildly losing the battle for the minors outside at he wire. ALPHA GAMMA GIRL had the lead in the two path early on, chased the leader outside making little headway on the turn, shifted out four wide but was unable to come with a stretch rally turning for home and weakened at the furlong marker. PEACE OFFERING was bumped on the inside at the start trailing down the backstretch, offered a mild spurt splitting foes midway through the turn, angled to the three path for the stretch run but could not factor in the late stages. BACCARO POINT broke out on the start, had a stalking role on the fence at the half, drooped back to last with five sixteenths to go and had little for the stretch drive and was unable to get into contention.
