MISS BIKINI was part of the group in the two path up front in the early going, was reined back to be tucked in on the rail three furlongs from home, waiting to make a move, shifted just outside to pounce to the lead at the top of the lane, dueled with the frontrunner until the eighth pole and cleared away for the win in deep stretch. GOLD FORESTER travelled in the two path in the second flight keeping close tabs on the four up front, was coaxed on the rail for more at the three eighths pole, started to creep closer to the leaders, shifted out to the three path for the drive to the finish, angled back inside on the rail at the furlong marker and put in a solid late run to best the rest in a good try down the lane. LOADED SECRET had a narrow advantage inside down the back straight, was shadowed on the outside setting the fractions on the turn, was collared by the winner in upper stretch, battled gamely until inside the furlong marker and faded late nearing the wire but held for show in a three horse photo in the end. INFINITE PASSION was away poorly to begin, co-trailed on the inside in the early going, started to close the gap on the leaders commencing a run three wide at the quarter pole, lacked clear running room throughout the entire stretch and finally found a seam inside off the fading early leader nearing the wire and surged late to just miss getting up for third in the end. GOLDEN TRAIN forced the pace in the three path as part of the four early foes fighting for the lead in the beginning, was in tight with rivals on each side entering the turn, throttled down some losing a little position on the turn, rallied to loom in the four path turning for home, never gave in and tenaciously fought to the wire but was on the losing end of the three way photo for show. ITS A BIRDIE watched the quartet while four deep in the tracking group down the backside, was roused but made little advance four wide running around the bend, shifted out to be in the seven path for the drive to the wire and ran on willingly, gaining on rivals in deep stretch. WAR'S END KISS travelled three wide on the outside having one rival beat running around the turn, angled out to be five wide for the drive and showed some late interest to pass a few tiring foes rallying inside in the final furlong. MURDER HORNET settled in the three path with rivals on either side tracking the front foursome early, was nudged for more trying to maintain position on the turn, angled to the six path to be in range if good enough for the stretch run, drifted inwards under right handed encouragement at the furlong marker and evened out in the late stages. BITTERSWEETBIZNESS trailed four deep outside down the backstretch, angled to the rail saving ground running on the fence through the turn, could see the field in the three path turning for home, shifted out sharply inside the eighth pole off tiring runners and could no be a factor in the late stages. LULU'S LULLABY was off a step slow leaving the gate, was rushed up for better position down the backside and steadily faded on the rail running inside throughout the turn. FOREST CHOICE prompted four deep down the backstretch, chased the leader four wide through the turn and gave way between runners when they straightened out for the stretch drive. MAMMA KATZ broke with the field but was soon shuffled to near the rear down the backside, rallied four wide around runners making a bold move three furlongs from home, was fanned out to be widest in the eight path at the top of the stretch, checked mildly inside the furlong pole and was not a presence in deep stretch.
