NEEDABETTERJOCK vied for the lead while three wide into the turn, dueled two wide on the turn then weakened in late stretch. WITT'S TAQUITO vied for the early lead while inside, was shuffled back on the turn then lacked a rally in the stretch. NAUTICAL MOON raced three wide on the turn making a bid but was no threat in the stretch drive. BLING'S BELLWETHER raced four wide on the turn then failed to menace.
