JUST MAKE BELIEVE broke sharply, but was taken in hand and allowed to settle at the back of a compact field while racing two out from the rail entering the backstretch, rallied smartly three wide entering the final turn, and finished willingly four wide in the drive to get up for the place. BLUEGRASS ANGUS away alertly and vied for the lead from along he rail entering the first turn, set a pressured pace in the run down the backstretch and through the final turn from the inside of BLACK METAL, was unable to match strides with that rival entering he lane, and weakened late. FRANKIE MACHINE stalked the dueling leaders into the backstretch while saving ground along the inside, rallied two wide entering the final turn, but lacked the needed closing response when finishing one out from the rail in the drive.
