COMMANDEER stumbled at the start, settled unhurried in the three to two paths around the first turn, swung out to the seven path in upper stretch, rallied while flopping back to his left lead at the furlong grounds, sustained a charge after changing back to his right lead at the sixteenth pole, offered a late bid, but was staved off. TIBERIUS MERCURIUS tracked two wide and between horses, tucked to the inside entering the backstretch, pursued from the two path around the far turn before tipping to the four path in upper stretch, gained to bid along with an outer rival at the furlong grounds, but was outkicked by an outer pair entering the final sixteenth.

READY TO PURRFORM laid off of the pace two wide and between horses, came under urging turning for home, and offered a mild response to stay on evenly.

JUNGLE WARFARE lacked speed along the inside, gradually shifted ground outwardly in upper stretch, and moved up. DOMINICAN PIONEER bore to the three path while setting the pace into the first turn, settled into stride in the two path soon after, vied with an outer bidder down the backstretch, dueled around the far turn, but got headed at the three sixteenths pole, and faded.

KITTANSETT hopped while breaking multiple lengths slow at the start, lagged behind, and cut the gap on the rest of the field in upper stretch.
