DOCTOR K was urged between foes disputing the pace from the outset, dueled inside a rival on the turn, continued in a protracted skirmish racing well off the inside past midstretch and edged clear late under firm handling. JUPITER BLUES, unhurried between foes in the opening stages, was prompted to advance splitting foes three wide racing into upper stretch, then angled out four wide in the closing stages to close the gap on the winner while edging a rival for the place honors. GUNMAN settled inside foes in the last flight early, was prompted to advance saving ground on the turn, continued inside foes gaining position to late stages but was outkicked by the top pair. BERHANU ducked out at the start, was righted, then angled inwards to press the pace three wide in early stages, continued to force the issue outside the eventual winner through the turn to midstretch but weakened late. RUMPOLE, urged inside foes prompting the pace in the opening stages, was eased off the leaders in the second furlong while shifting off the inside, continued in three path through the turn tracking the leaders in second flight, was fanned four wide into the stretch and had no closing bid. ED'S DOG settled outside foes in the last flight early and failed to menace thereafter. POSEIDEN angled to the inside nearing the turn while making brief pursuit of the leaders into the turn but gave way into upper stretch.
