SCHERZANDO settled off the pace, went two then three wide on the turn, came five wide into the stretch while just off the heels of a rival, tipped out for clear space shortly thereafter, rallied outside in the final furlong and closed well to just miss while clear for the place. BUSTINO SANTINO was sent hard from the start, pressed the pace while well out in the course, angled in late on the backstretch, vied in the two path while on even terms for the lead on the turn, bumped with a rival coming to the quarter-pole, spun three wide into the stretch, battled under a drive into the final furlong, dropped back into the final sixteenth and was outfinished while just able to get the show. OKALOOSA was sent hard to the front, showed the way along the hedge, lost action leaving the backstretch, bumped with a foe coming to the quarter-pole, spun a bit off the inside into upper stretch, fought under a drive into the final furlong, dropped back into the final sixteenth and was out-kicked. RIPE FOR MISCHIEF was urged along on the outside, went five wide on the turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, switched back to his inside lead near the sixteenth-pole and improved position. VOLEUSE broke a half-step slow, was hustled from the gate then urged along off the pace, moved closer with a half-mile to run, chased inside on the turn, cut the corner into the stretch, pursued the leaders against the hedge into the final furlong, moved out near the sixteenth-pole and lacked the needed kick.
