HAUNTEDBYTHEMUSIC broke readily to force the pace outside a rival on a narrow advantage racing through the backstretch, shifted out three deep on the turn disputing the issue between foes nearing upper stretch but continued with a steady effort to dispatch several challengers and go clear late under firm handling. EXPENSIVE STYLE was urged inside the eventual winner from the outset prompting that rival while angling inwards dueling for command a bit off the inside, conceded some position nearing the turn, then was urged to press the issue between foes inside the eventual winner to upper stretch but yielded to that rival in late stages. UNCORK THE BOTTLE, held up between foes momentarily when caught in close quarters three deep in second flight racing through the backstretch, shifted out four wide nearing the turn while being prompted to advance, moved to challenge in that path nearing upper stretch but couldn't match the top pair while continuing evenly in the closing stages to prevail for a share. ANANROAD, urged inside foes tracking off the first flight, advanced along the rail on the turn to lodge a brief bid inside foes nearing upper stretch but flattened out entering the lane. KALU tracked the leaders between foes in second flight, conceded some position racing into the turn and couldn't produce a closing bid. I AM THAT I AM, caught four wide between foes in the opening stages, was collected after clipping heels with EXPENSIVE STYLE racing through the backstretch and steadily faded into upper stretch. MYSTIC LINK settled outside foes in the opening quarter and retreated early. FOLLOWING THE RACE THE RIDER OF I AM THAT I AM LODGED A CLAIM AGAINST THE RIDER OF EXPENSIVE STYLE FOR INTERENCE ON THE BACKSTRETCH BUT THAT CLAIM WAS DISALLOWED.
