BUSTIN TIMBERLAKE traded a bump at the start with GOLANI BRIGADE when breaking in a step as that rival broke outwards, came under coaxing and chased three then two wide in closest aim of the spurting away leader, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, closed well between foes through the late stages and just missed at the finish. BRONX BOMBER leapt up at the break getting away last and conceding three lengths to the front, chased three then two wide from near the rear detached from the main body of the field in tandem with DOUBLE SHOT, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, made ground and swung three wide into upper stretch, threaded his way through some light traffic showing good courage to to get within a neck of the top pair at the wire. STEAM ENGINE broke out at the start and was corrected coming under hustling to show the way in hand just off the inside, tucked inside through the turn spurting away, spun just off the inside for home, dug in under a drive clear to the eighth pole, came under growing late threat from a trio and was overhauled inside the final sixteenth while able to preserve the last major share. GOLANI BRIGADE traded a bump at the start with BUSTIN TIMBERLAKE when breaking outwards as that rival broke inwards, came under coaxing and chased just off the inside until tucked to the rail half a mile from home, came under coaxing at the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid but was outkicked.

DOUBLE SHOT four paths off the inside down the backstretch detached near the rear in tandem with BRONX BOMBER, tucked inside half a mile from home, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, spun just off the inside for home, made ground through to the finish while not improving position and unable to make an impact.
