SHE IS WISKY gained a forward position towards the inner rail around the first turn, was patiently handled through the backstretch, eased out to work between rivals leaving the far turn, had aim on embattled leaders approaching the stretch, shifted out and responded to solid handling, rolled past inner foes to take over in mid stretch then drew away with alacrity. DON'T TELL DEREN , taken to rate off the pace, steadied off heels nearing the far turn, angled out after regrouping then circled five wide, straightened away soon into the stretch and finished with good energy to gain the place. RED WIND vied three deep early on and held a slim lead past the five eighths, emerged in a scrum to the outside of DOUBLE FIREBALL leaving the three eighths, fought on past mid stretch then gave way grudgingly in the final yards. GOGO CHANEL dropped inside early and rated behind the winner, eased out mid way on the final turn, worked between runners, pursued past mid stretch then lacked the needed finish. PISTOL LIZ ABLAZEN settled in the clear, edged up four wide outside runners into the far turn, gave wide pursuit into the stretch then flattened out in the final furlong. BALI KUTA broke outward and was away last, was used four wide to contention leaving the three quarter pole, chased three wide past the five sixteenths, stayed in touch past mid stretch then faded. DOUBLE FIREBALL , keyed up just off the leaders, bid between foes to contest the pace past the five eighths, dueled on a slim lead from the far turn, stayed on past mid stretch then weakened late. VINGATIVA , inside, lacked a serious finish. EIGHT DANZAS , three wide in range between runners into the far turn, chased four wide nearing the lane and weakened. ESPERANNNA took the early lead inside foes, ceded command near the five eighths, stayed on to contest the issue to the far turn then weakened.
