DOMINGA raced in the three path on the first turn, followed the solo leader from second, moved closer in the two path on the far turn, took the lead in upper stretch, fought gamely in the final furlong and just missed while able to get the place. WINNING ENVELOPE went three to four wide on the first turn, was reserved off the pace, moved out leaving the backstretch, was roused four wide on the far turn then came five wide into the stretch, rallied to make an outside bid into the final furlong, fought with multiple rivals to the wire and missed while able to get the show. JOY EPIFORA (ARG) bumped hard with a rival at the start while also bumping lightly with another foe, went around the first turn in the two path, was reserved off the pace, saved ground while moving closer on the far turn, came out into upper stretch, made a bid just inside the three-sixteenths, led into the final furlong, battled with multiple rivals to the wire and was outfinished. PASS THE PLATE was bumped lightly in the shoulder at the start, went four wide on the first urn, settled towards the rear, went four wide on the far turn, came five wide into the stretch, raced behind horses passing the three-sixteenths and lacked the needed response.
