SEATTLE SIGNAL brushed inside rival on the start, had a narrow advantage while hounded inside down the backstretch, spurted away comfortably from the chasing rivals at the three furlong marker and was kept to the task holding safe for the convincing score at the finish line. SMOKEN CHLOE broke outwards on the break, began to pick off runners running between rivals at the three furlong marker, came under a hard ride four wide at the quarter pole, determinedly ran on end to the wire, was gaining mildly on the winner late with a solid effort but was second best on this day. GUNNAWIN was inside foes stalking in the middle of this strung out field at the half mile marker, improved when scrubbed on for more on the rail three eighths from home, shifted outside with momentum at the quarter pole and finished with good energy in the five path down the stretch to close in and capture third when all was said and done. ROYAL CHROME settled on the inside near the back in the early going, waited in hand on the fence at the three eighths marker, quickly rallied up a clear rail at the quarter pole, was looking for a seam behind foes three wide turning for home, had running room when shifted to the outside in the four path in mid-stretch and ran on gamely to be a fringe player in the end. LOOK AT LIL SISTER broke out brushing foe at the start, pressed the issue on the rail down the back straight, chased but was losing ground to the frontrunning winner through the turn, was used up by the time they straightening out for the drive and faded on the fence at the furlong marker. T'PRING tracked the top two down the backstretch running on the inside, tracked the winner three wide in the second flight around the turn, battled for the minor shares with rivals on either side in upper stretch but faded in the final sixteenth of a mile. SHEZ A SEALY was unhurried stalking near the rear on the fence in the early stages, began to pick up horses splitting foes in midturn, swung outside, five wide for the drive and was one paced to the finish line. STANDING STRONG stalked on the rail in the third flight down the backstretch, kept pace with others while saving ground around the oval, was in range behind foes for a small share in the two path at the top of the lane but stalled at the furlong marker. BLACKMARSH was pinched back at the break, having only the other poor starter behind her down the backside, made no progress running around the oval and could not get into contention driving to the wire. SWEEPING PASSION stalked in the middle of the pack three wide down the backside, ran on evenly four wide through the turn, angled out widest in the seven path at the top of the lane and had no rally to give outside foes to the wire. CASTLETON tracked the front pair down the backside outside of challengers, was asked for more three wide at the three furlong marker, offered little run and backed away through the field at the quarter pole. JIMMY IS A BREEZE was squeezed at the break seeing the pack down the backside, trailed the field around the turn, caught up to rivals four wide at the quarter pole and was no menace in the drive to the finish line. SAKE AND SUSHI settled in midfield four deep outside runners down the backside, was urged three wide at the three eighths marker but going in the wrong direction and gave way between horses at the quarter pole.
