VILLI OLENTO travelled in midfield while inside of a rival, patiently had to wait while lacking room on the rail with five sixteenths to run, pounced finding a hole three wide at the quarter pole to be five wide in the hunt turning for home, switched leads at the furlong marker and under right-handed urging took off in deep stretch to win going away at the finish line. NOW YOU SEE ME was under a snug hold while co-leading on the rail in the first turn, was reined back a touch to have a nice spot tracking the leader on the fence down the backside, waited behind the engaged pair through the final turn, shifted out with momentum four wide for the stretch run but was outfinished by the winner in the last sixteenth to settle for a runner up placing in the end. BRAQUET was allowed to settle at the back of the pack in the early going, started to mount a good rally circling four wide with two furlongs from the prize, angled out with run in the seven-path straightening out for the drive and was full of run late to almost close in and capture the place share at the wire. HIGH TREASON was ahead of one runner along the backstretch, kept pace with others through the far turn, shifted three wide and finished up with intent down the stretch to get the nod at the wire for a minor share. ORIGINAL ME stalked near the rear on the rail, rated kindly but made little progression on the rail down the backside, was shuffled back with three eighths to run waiting for running room, rallied when having a clear path on the rail with a quarter mile to go to be in range for a piece of the prize in upper stretch but could only finish up mildly between runners late. FOREST VIXEN settled on the outside in midfield down the backstretch, came under a ride while closing in three wide with five sixteenths to go, lost its path and had to be checked briefly when she could quicken fast enough losing her lane to the eventual winner turning for home and finished up gradually on the outside late. MAKAYLA sat behind the lead duo in the early stages, closed in to bid for the lead outside with a quarter mile to run, poked her head in front briefly between rivals with an eighth remaining, had nothing left in the tank late and folded at the sixteenth pole. SPIRIT O'TIPPERARY co-led on the outside on the first turn, had a slim margin up top with runners on both sides down the backside, was headed outside by the quarter marker, fought on until the sixteenth pole while running on the fence but wilted in deep stretch. HYPER AWAKENING had a tracking role three wide on the outside into the first bend, moved closer to prompt the pace four deep down the backside, backed through the field midway around the final turn and had nothing more to offer, emptying out by upper stretch.
