IOYA AGAIN exchanged bumps, then was held up out of tight quarters start to race last to the backstretch, switched outside foes gathering momentum nearing upper stretch, split foes five wide in the lane, then rallied stoutly through the stretch shifting inwards under pressure to prevail in time under firm encouragemen. GRAND HIDEAWAY, forwardly placed stalking just off the pacesetter in the opening half, made a steady advance on that rival to gain the advantage midstretch but couldn't fend off the winner. RONNI'S STORM broke sharply, set the pace along the inside to the backstretch, dueled for command into the lane while tipping off the inside and contested the issue grudgingly to late stages while failing to contain the top pair. PERFECT WAGER angled to the inside tracking off the second flight to the backstretch, steadily gained position along the rail to challenge inside the leaders in upper stretch but lacked the needed final kick. REMEMBER THE MAINE, reserved just off the inside to the backstretch, shifted out entering the lane to split rivals three wide, then shifted out six wide in the last furlong while making some mild progress. CAMMACK tracked off the second flight three deep, then between foes in the opening stages, was prompted to advance between rivals nearing upper stretch, shifted out four wide racing into upper stretch but lacked the needed final response. KRAMDEN angled to the inside tracking the pacesetter as part of the second flight in the opening half, dropped back racing into the far turn, then continued along the rail to late stages while producing a second effort to regain some position. HANNITY, exchanged bumps at the start, settled between foes to the backstretch, shifted out to race three wide between foes into the far turn but offered no rally. RIVER FINN, pulling a bit against restraint inside foes, switched outside rivals nearing the backstretch, was prompted to gain some position four wide racing through the far turn but flattened out entering the lane. DELFT BLUE settled outside foes in the last flight early, was prompted to advance four wide into the far turn, was fanned to the six path in upper stretch and had no late response. DRAMATIC KITTEN was rated off the second flight along the inside in the opening stages but retreated early.
