ZANESVILLE went three wide on the first turn, tracked the pace on the outside, inched closer in the three path on the far turn, made a bid outside the five-sixteenths, came under the whip turning into upper stretch, took a narrow advantage into the final furlong, drifted out under heavy pressure late and narrowly prevailed under strong handling. WOMAN WITH A BOOK saved ground on the first turn, settled off the pace, started the far turn in the two path, was roused while shifting three then four wide late on that bend then was driven five wide into upper stretch, chased two foes into the final furlong, gained into the final sixteenth and just missed while clear for the place. CAP ROCK MINER went to the front, rounded the first turn in the two path, was well rated while setting the pace, vied near the inside on the far turn, was set down under heavy threat in upper stretch, lost the advantage while swapping back to his inside lead at the furlong marker and was outfinished while well clear for the show. OVERZEALOUS went two to three wide on the first turn, was pulled in by the rider to encourage a lead change early on the backstretch, settled last but one, was roused while three then four wide on the far turn and lacked the needed response. CITALI dropped well behind while three then two wide on the first turn, lagged at the rear, saved ground on the far turn and showed little. FORESTDUNGONE went four wide on the first turn, settled on the outside, was urged along passing the half-mile pole, went four then five wide on the far turn and faltered.
