ANONYMOUSLY , with the pace three deep and under early rating, emerged in a duel outside ROYAL SEAMSTRESS around the turn, poked a head in front nearing the stretch, shook clear under left handed asks leaving the eighth pole, spurted away a sixteenth out then held firm while kept alert. OUR LIBERTY BELLE prompted the early pace between rivals, eased back off the embattled leaders into the turn, was under a hustling ride to remain in touch past the three eighths, advanced inside a foe then angled out four wide into the stretch, straightened away and finished well through the final seventy yards. ROYAL WHISPER hesitated at the break to be away last, checked soon after, regrouped and edged up three wide leaving the far turn, chased three wide into the lane and finished up with good effort to gain the show. BLAZE ON had speed inside rivals, rated back a bit nearing the turn then bumped with an outer foe when shuffled, regrouped to stay inside, advanced past mid stretch then continued trying to the line. ROYAL SEAMSTRESS took over between foes, briefly cleared then was joined by the winner from her outside into the turn, sparred around the turn, battled in the two path into the stretch, stayed willingly to mid stretch then faded. PHOTO FINISH bobbled at the break, recovered and edged up between runners heading to the half, was in a bit tight and bumped with an inner foe, dropped back around the turn, raced between horses into the stretch and came up empty. SULTRY SALLY H broke a step slow, was used four wide to contention into the turn, chased mid turn, was fanned five wide by an angling inner rival entering the stretch and weakened.
