MEHLEK saved ground getting smartly to the rail stalking at the back in the first turn, advanced mildly on the rail down the back straight, was on hold in midfield through the far turn, swung out six wide with momentum at the top of the lane, was full of run at the furlong marker closing in and got up in the shadow of the wire for the win. INFAMOUS COVERT had a good position watching the engaging duo on the first turn, rated kindly tracking the contesting pair all alone down the backstretch, pounced three wide making a bold move around the tiring early leaders at the quarter pole, extended the advantage at the furlong marker but was was caught by the winner a few jumps before the wire. JMR PURE SENSATION prompted the pace outside in the first turn, continued to hound the inside pacesetter down the backside, was inching clear of the early speed foe at the quarter pole, offered little resistance to the top pair in upper stretch but bravely fought on with runners swarming in on each side late to hold for third in the end. CHELSEA DAGGER was situated on the rail tracking in the third flight on the first turn, settled in the middle of the pack inside at the half, rallied on the fence three furlongs from home, found a seam in the two path at the top of the lane and finished with intent to just miss out for third between runners in a tight photo at the finish. EXULT was unhurried trailing on the fence in the beginning, took closer order to the leaders improving inside down the backstretch, had nowhere to go on the fence with run in upper stretch, finally shifted outside off the tiring early pacesetter at the eighth pole, angled to the rail late and finished up well to be involved in a photo for third at the wire. OCTOBER FROST was allowed to settle near the rear down the back straight, was roused three furlongs from the line weaving through traffic, lacked running room briefly when starting a rally inside the furlong pole and ran on willingly late to the finish line. BONGINO tracked on the rail in the second flight around the first bend, settled nicely by oneself watching the front three down the backside, was nudged for more run two wide three eighths from the line, shifted out in the five path in range of the leaders driving to the wire but evened out in the final furlong. GENDRAGON tracked outside in the third flight into the first turn, settled in midfield down the backside outside of runners, made little impression between rivals midpoint on the far turn, swung out to the six path straightening out for home and never was a factor running to the wire. SUPER HEADLINE contested for the pace inside in the early stages, battled on the rail setting the fractions down the backside, began to give way inside at the quarter pole and retreated on the fence in the final furlong. ABSOLUTE JEWEL travelled near the rear four wide entering the first turn, made little progress outside down the backstretch, offered a mild run three wide outside three furlongs from home, was floated out to the five path turning for home, shifted in to the rail for the drive but could not make any impact down the lane.
