ANILEATE got bumped between foes and pinched back at the start getting away last and conceding four to five lengths to the front before settling along the inside at the tail of the field, tipped two then briefly three wide through the first turn before settling three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch taking up the rear, began to steadily advance in the clear from the half mile pole into and through the far turn moving into prominence nearing the quarter pole now under coaxing, swung six wide into upper stretch and was floated out and bumped seven wide by SNOW LOVES A FIGHT straightened away before displacing that rival from the narrow and brief command she held nearing the eighth pole, dug in under a drive under threat to the inside, got guided in to get a look at her main danger and was overtaken a sixteenth out, ran on with good courage to be along clear of the rest and second best.
