ALIGATO was off slow and climbed a bit early on, angled five wide leaving the turn, rallied determinedly in the final furlong and just missed. ALEXANDER'S DREAM chased the top pair outside a pair of rivals, bid three deep at the five-sixteenths pole, took over in upper stretch while drifting out and yielded in the final sixteenth. BRIX chased off the pace early on, angled out then back inward in the stretch, bumped rival at the sixteenth pole and got up for a minor award. RIFEY broke slow and bumped rival at the start, took the turn three then four wide, weaved through traffic in the stretch and kept on to improved position. TOO LATE pressed the pace from outside, headed rival midway around the turn, vied between into the stretch, could not kick on in the late stages and got bumped at the sixteenth pole. PLAY CHICKEN settled inside, got blocked behind DREAM ROBBER checking early, moved off the rail, swung four wide into the lane, lacked room in upper stretch, angled inward and could not rally. ME LIKEY jumped the track crossing surfaces early, angled to the inside while forwardly placed, chased the top pair through the turn and flattened out in the drive. CROSSWORD set the pace under pressure from outside, was headed by rival at the five-sixteenths pole, vied two wide around the turn and weakened down the lane. PREACHING TRAINER was off slow to begin, got bothered a bit nearing the nine-sixteenths pole, went four to five wide around the turn, was crowded between rivals and steadied in upper stretch and faded. DREAM ROBBER was forwardly placed along the inside then had to check hard early, tracked in mid-pack from the rail into the turn, saved ground to the lane and weakened.
