LITIGANT broke readily, angled inwards leaving the chute to dictate the pace on a narrow margin just off the inside racing to the turn, went clear nearing upper stretch and was kept to steady right handed pressure to extend the advantage. STUNNING BABY settled last along the inside racing to the turn, shifted outside foes leaving the bend, angled seven wide racing through the stretch and continued with a steady late bid to edge rivals for the place honors while never menacing the winner. WICKED STRONG ALEX, in touch with the leaders four wide between foes racing through the backstretch, angled to the inside nearing the lane and continued with interest while just missing for second. HE HAD A SECRET switched off the inside leaving the chute, while being prompted in pursuit of the pacesetter three deep between foes, continued off the inside between foes on the bend and faded in late stages. TALON hopped at the start while breaking last, was settled along the inside, saved ground to upper stretch, then shifted outside a rival in late stages to improve his position between rivals. IMPERIAL GUARD, urged to a forward placing five deep leaving the chute tracking just off the pacesetter, shifted nearer to the inside racing into the turn prompting the leader but came up empty leaving midstretch. CONSILIUM, caught six wide in the opening stages tracking off the first flight, was fanned six wide between foes racing into the stretch but had no closing bid. HAY HAY MY MY, caught three deep between foes, then shuffled a bit avoiding close quarters midway through the backstretch, steadily faded into the stretch.
