RETURN FIRE stalked to the inside of a rival, was under asking pursuing past the three eighths, eased out approaching the stretch, came back on and bid outside the winner near the sixteenth pole, battled gamely while on near even terms but was kept at bay. HALLELUJAH HARRIS , bumped at the start, was rated back off foes then angled about four wide, commenced a run when put to a ride four wide leaving the far turn, advanced into the stretch, had aim on the leader while giving hard chase in mid stretch but failed to seriously sustain.

SILENT ROAR , four wide into the first turn, edged up between foes nearing the far turn, dropped in to make a mild run past the five sixteenths, failed to go on past the three sixteenths and weakened.

LONG ASTRIDE broke slowly, was used five wide into the first turn, continued well wide while edging up past the five eighths, chased, lacked a kick leaving the five sixteenths and weakened. SINGULARITY , between foes around the first turn, steadied back off rivals soon into the backstretch, chased in the clear near the half, came five wide for the drive and faded.
