BOX N SCORE brushed lightly at the break, settled off the pace two to three wide, advanced three wide into the far turn moving out seven wide out of that bend, showed good late stride to gain the place. CHANCEL stalked the pacesetter while kept very wide four deep early, moved forward to force the issue taking the lead at the five-eighths and still off the inside, was overtaken and needed more but kept on to hold show honors. H C HOLIDAY brushed lightly with foes at the start, raced mid-pack two to three wide on the first turn, advanced while moving out three to six wide on the far turn, kept on but missed show honors. HELL BENT brushed with a rival lightly at the start and was then urged forward, gained on the leaders early up the backstretch three to four wide, lacked the needed late kick.
