ROISTER broke sharply but veered in and made light contact with MY SUNSHINE, seized the early lead, took the field through comfortable fractions while keep all at bay to the stretch, quickened when set down passing the three-sixteenth pole, drew away and won geared down near the wire. BEROLIJEAN (FR) broke a step slow then was rushed up into contention, floated six wide into the clubhouse turn, pulled the rider up close to the early leaders down the backstretch, made an eye-catching move four wide through the far turn, was outkicked in the final furlong and held well in the end for second. WILL IS CHILL checked hard off heels going into the first turn and was forced out to the five or six path, made slow but steady progress from the rear of the field to get into contention, bid in earnest from the three furlong pole, came into the stretch six wide and produced a grinding finish that was good enough to gain the show. WALKING BOSS was content to save ground near the rear of the field, mounted a rally into traffic on the far turn, then swung seven wide into the stretch and closed willingly but was to late to crack the top three. LIFESBEENGOODSOFAR was keen to get into the early mix and was caught four wide around the first turn, pulled to a position just behind the trio contesting the early pace, was content to hold that position down the backstretch, became boxed in through the far turn, then ran on evenly when clear in the late stages. POUR ON THE COLE checked hard going into the first turn, was content to keep the inside path through the early stages, started to make a run then had to check slightly near the three furlong pole, idled behind a wall of horses to the stretch, had clear run passing the three-sixteenths pole but was unable to tae advantage and tired. LORD WIMBORNE (IRE) lumbered away from the gate well behind the field, then got over to the rail before the first bend, settled in the rear for the first half mile, tried to make an eight wide run into the stretch but was unable to make an impact. AWESOME DUDE settled mid-pack while racing two deep early, pulled close to the leaders down the backstretch, checked in traffic twice in the far turn, got clear in the stretch but was unable to make an impact. MY SUNSHINE brushed with ROISTER at the break then while trying to contest the early pace put POUR ON THE COLE in tight going into the first turn, switched out a path and stalked the pacesetting ROISTER from two deep, remained prominent to the far turn, then came under pressure near the five-sixteenths marker and weakened. BROOKYS TAPIT got away well then pressed the pace three wide under a firm hold, remained close through the far turn then began to struggle to keep up passing the five-sixteenth pole and came up empty in the stretch.
