MY SUNNY VALENTINE travelled on the rail having a pair of rivals beaten down the back straight, edged up the fence by midturn, burst between runners under a savvy ground saving ride finding a lane in the two path at the top of the stretch and tenaciously got up right at the wire for the score. SOCIETY'S KAT stalked on the outside ahead of a couple of rivals down the backside, began to pick up runners when roused four wide midway on the turn, swung out nine wide for the stretch drive, closed in sharply outside down the lane but just lost the nod for the win at the finish line. BOLT ENOREE had a good spot tucked in on the fence behind the lead quintet around the turn, found a seam four wide straightening out for the drive, rallied in the lane but was no match for the top two with a furlong remaining but did stay on just at the wire to save the third place award. HAY HAY PAULA stalked four deep close to the back in the early stages, angled out widest in the ten path full of run when the field spread out straightening out for home, was closing the fastest down the stretch and almost got up at the wire for the show money. WICKED MERCURY was brushed inside on the break, trailed in the early going, closed the gap throughout the turn, shifted out to be four wide for the drive while in with a chance for a share behind horses at the three sixteenths pole, had nowhere to run in upper stretch, finally angled out for a clear lane in the six path at the furlong marker and finished with good energy between foes late. VERI GIZMO settled on the outside in midfield while running three wide down the backside, sat behind the front fivesome in the second flight through the turn, angled out finding a path eight wide entering the stretch and finished up with interest between runners to be a photo for the minor placings in the end. ANAM CARA was another one who was part of the duel up top going four wide between rivals down the backstretch, never wavered still in the four path setting the fractions around the bend with others on either side, could not continue on six wide at the furlong marker and folded in deep stretch. FOOLISH GAMES prompted the issue inside at the start, poked her head in front on the fence at the half, stubbornly held on up top on the rail around the turn, could not find another gear at the top of the lane and faltered on the fence the final sixteenth. ALLISTON was brushed outside to begin, progressed between horses along the backstretch to sit in mid-division by the half, waited for the cue to go behind a wall of five contesting leaders in the turn, lacked running room, losing its path turning for home and could not recover to be involved in deep stretch. IZATIZ was away alertly from the chute on the outside to lead this field in the two path entering the backstretch, vied between runners down the backside, continued to press the tempo two wide with four others challengers around the bend, was still in the hunt in the three path at the top off the stretch but tired in the final furlong. ADDENDUM veered in and was taken a hold of at the start, recovered to be in the group five deep on the lead down the backside, still travelled five wide fighting on the outside for the lead throughout the turn and emptied out in the seven path at the top of the lane. OLYMPIC FENCER was part of the mix up front travelling in the three path with rivals on both sides down the backstretch and around the turn, had nothing more to give in the six path turning for home and stopped in upper stretch.
