WAJDA broke in at the start and was corrected, chased three to four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, angled five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive tussling with CHANGE OF COMMAND through to the finish running on to best that rival for the place honors. CHANGE OF COMMAND five to six paths off the inside in pursuit from just off the pace, tucked four wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take narrow command nearing the eighth pole, got overhauled inside that station and fought on with the aforementioned rival to the finish and was along safe for the show honors.
