SCYNTZ raced up close inside around the first turn then stalked the pair of leaders running through the backstretch, remained patiently ridden up the inside on the far turn, tipped out a couple paths wider in upper stretch, collared BLACK HAWK RIDGE under a strong hand ride near mid-stretch and finished clear. BLACK HAWK RIDGE was a bit tight entering the first turn then settled in close tracking position through early stages, tapped on the shoulder leaving the three eighths pole and led the way by a slim margin leaving the turn, widened advantage under pressure then got overtaken by the winner near mid-stretch and had to settle for second best. DAVID'S GRACE held a slim lead around the first turn then vied inside of NO KA OI down the backstretch, got overhauled by BLACK HAWK RIDGE around the far turn but stayed on secure a share. NO KA OI vied outside of DAVID "S GRACE down the backstretch, could not move on the frontend when challenged around the far turn and gave way.

ALIGNED INTEREST was a bit tight entering the first turn, showed brief response then steadily weakened and had no late response. CYBER SHOES never reached close contention and jogged in. Race was hand timed
