MATH MYSTERY tracked the pace from the inside down the backstretch, was in a steady hand ride throughout the turn, then closed fast down the line while passing rivals and was up in the final strides. MISS DISTINCTIVE veered outwardly at the start, then tracked the pace while two wide, bid from the four path on the turn, shifted inward, brushed rival, then continued to duel with the same rival in the early stretch then was surpassed by an outer rival in the end. YOLANDA WHO chased the pace while three wide, was nicely rated before coming out four to five wide leaving the turn and closed well for the show prize. TOOTIE chased the pace from the inside, was moving up on the turn to take over the lead at the quarterpole, was brushed at the top of the stretch, then dueled from the inside before being out finished in the end. YVONNE'S MISS chased the pace while two wide, then swung six to seven wide leaving the turn to rally mildly in the stretch and came up empty. LONGLEGGEDLAVERNE pulled away from the pack to duel from the two path down the backstretch, then gave way after the turn. POET LAUREATE was impeded at the start, then emerged to duel with an outer rival down the backstretch, gained command briefly at the three eighths pole, then was overpowered on the turn and lost momentum. CARRY ON broke inwardly, was unhurried early and no threat. GANGSTER RAP was no menace. ROSES ARE GRAY settled along the inside and failed to rally.
