FIREBALL BIRDIE bumped inner rival, then battled for the lead while three deep, pulled away to duel with an inner rival throughout the turn and into the stretch, gained command in the final furlong and was kept to task to the end. GUCCI BOY was bumped inwardly at the start, then settled close behind the battling wall of rivals, moved up eagerly while three wide on the turn, then was in an all out charge down the lane to finish well for the place prize. EL QUESO GRANDE vied from the inside early, then settled back and remained well rated on the turn, then rallied in the stretch and was improving in the end. FLASH HUMOR bumped foe at the start, moved up to vie for the lead while two wide, then pulled away to duel with FIREBALL BIRDIE on the turn and into the early stretch, then was out kicked in the final yards. CARRY THE FLAG vied for the lead while four wide, was in a hard drive, was depleted on the turn and flattened out in the remaining furlongs.
