STONE ARCH BRIDGE broke readily, was eased off rivals while shifting inwards on the backstretch settling last racing to the turn, switched outside foes gathering momentum four deep entering the turn, angled to the five path entering upper stretch rallying smartly to contention, lugged inwards in the closing stages momentarily putting FLASH FLOOD in tight quarters in late stages but went clear in time under steady pressure. CELTICS WILDCAT joined the pace three deep in the opening stages, pressed the issue outside a rival through the turn into upper stretch, couldn't contain the winner's late bid but held a rival for the place honors. FLASH FLOOD tracked off the second flight outside foes in the opening quarter, steadily advanced three deep on the bend, moved to challenge the leaders in late stages, lost some momentum when caught in tight quarters momentarily and was outkicked for second. DUSTY FORD, urged between foes, then along the inside entering the turn disputing the pace, pressed the issue to upper stretch and weakened late. KNIGHT'S HONOR was urged inside rivals in the first flight prompting the pace, was held up avoiding tight quarters entering the bend and continued evenly. THE CHAMPS KID tracked the leaders outside foes in second flight on the backstretch, angled to the rail racing through the turn and continued evenly to late stages. I CAME TO SHAME broke slowly, settled near the inside and passed inside some tiring rivals late. GIVE EM SHADE tracked off the first flight between foes in the opening stages but emptied out early. CLARE CRESCENT tracked the leaders inside rivals in second flight and steadily faded between foes into the turn.
