FORCED RANKING three then two wide in aim of the leader, advanced in tandem with GUN MAESTRO on the leader into the turn, seized command with seven-sixteenths to go and tucked inside midway on the turn, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, came under brief threat to the outside at the three-sixteenths before shaking off that rival to edge away under a drive kept to task. RUN SMITTY RUN seven paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked inside six furlongs from home, tipped two then three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, went nine wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to secure the place honors. AMERICAN LAW got bumped between foes and forced to steady after the start conceding three to four lengths to the front, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, went six to seven wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. MORNING CUP came out slightly after the start bumping AMERICAN LAW in tandem with PINE VALLEY, chased two to three wide until tipped out five wide midway on the turn, swung four wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid at the three-sixteenths, then weakened in the late stages. HATCH chased two to three wide coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, continued two to three wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late going. FIGHT FIERCELY chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, went eight wide into upper stretch and offered no response. IMPROPER chased five then four wide under coaxing from the five-sixteenths, swung five wide into upper stretch, tired. PINE VALLEY came in slightly after the start under hustling and bumped AMERICAN LAW in concert with MORNING CUP, got hustled along showing the way along the inside, yielded the front with seven-sixteenths to go, continued in the inside route into upper stretch and tired. BASIS RISK broke in at the start bumping GUN MAESTRO and was forced to steady conceding four lengths to the front before settling into stride, chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then four wide through the turn, went five wide for home and made no impact. GUN MAESTRO got bumped at the start by the aforementioned foe, chased four wide in aim before advancing on the leader in tandem with FORCED RANKING tucking three then two wide before coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, faded and went four wide into upper stretch, then gave way through to the finish.
