ILLEGAL SMILE (IRE) bobbled at the start recovering outwards bumping GOIN' GOOD into BYE BYE and in turn ALWAYZ LATE and causing the pressure that squeezed out BYE BYE, chased four to five paths off the inside just off the leader, tucked three wide through the turn and was set down spinning six wide into upper stretch, rallied to the inside of the aforementioned foe closing well to the finish but missed at the end. BYE BYE got bumped solidly at the start by GOIN' GOOD due to pressure from ILLEGAL SMILE and was squeezed out against ALWAYZ LATE conceding four lengths to the front before being able to settle into stride, chased just off the inside down the backstretch before tucking inside through the turn patiently handled until let out spinning three wide into upper stretch, rallied angling to the rail near the eighth pole, rallied up the inside to strike the front a sixteenth from home, dug in and was nailed in the final jumps to the finish.

TUSCAN QUEEN just off the inside in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide for home, tipped out two to three paths a furlong out and rallied through a seam bumping with ALWAYZ LATE just inside the sixteenth marker, then had the rider flash the crop to the left side when in tight between foes in the late stages to the finish.
