FORE FLAG pressed the pace from outside, moved up to duel for command at the midway point, vied between rivals into the drive, gained the lead in upper stretch, overtaken at the sixteenth pole and fought gamely to the wire. HOT LEGS ROMOLO took the early lead and moved inside, set the pace under pressure, dueled into and around the far turn, vied with a pair of rivals into the stretch, relinquished the lead in upper stretch, fought on to deep stretch and yielded late. LIMITED HEATWAVE got crowded between rivals soon after the start, became rank into the first turn, was still a bit rank at the five-eighths pole, angled to the inside for the far turn, saved ground to the stretch and kept on to improve position. MOGOLLON RIM broke a bit slow from inside, steered off the rail to the two path, raced in range to the second bend, remained two wide into the lane and could not rally. BLUE STAR went three to four wide around the clubhouse turn, two then three wide on the second bend and never threatened. TUCKER'S TRIBUTE got shuffled between rivals early, angled four wide leaving the far turn, lacked room behind rivals at the eighth pole and could no trally. DARK MARCUS forced to take up early, went five then four wide on the first turn, crept closer from outside up the backstretch, came five wide into the stretch and weakened. ATTENZIONE was off a step slow, checked behind a rival on the first turn, went two wide into the lane and was not a factor. AGRIGENTO pulled in the early stages on the inside, hugged the rail into the stretch and failed to menace.
