SOUPED UP contently tracked the lone speed in the two path with runners on either side down the back straight, crept closer keeping tabs on the pacesetter in the turn, moved in to bid three wide at the top of the lane, was encouraged right handed at the sixteenth pole and edged away for the win in deep stretch. MAAKWA broke sharp clearing from the outer post to get to the rail for the lead by the five eighths marker, continued to roll along unchallenged around the turn, was clinging onto the leader with the winner bearing down outside in upper stretch, gave way grudgingly inside at the sixteenth pole and still stayed on determinedly for the runners up share. BOSTON TEA PARTY broke in at the start to co-trail on the outside at the half, stalked at the rear around the turn closing the gap on the leaders by the time they entered the stretch, burst up the rail finding a seam at the furlong marker and shifted just outside in the final seventy yards to capture the third-place share. FORESTER'S FORTUNE settled in the middle of the pack inside runners in the two path along the backside, kept pace on the fence when nudged on through the turn, rallied two wide at the top of the stretch, shifted to the three path at the sixteenth pole but lost the duel for the show money late. OLD CHESTNUT travelled in midfield between foes three wide, was looking for running room behind rivals in the two path through the turn, angled out to the five path having no lane behind horses in upper stretch, shifted out seven wide at the furlong marker finally getting clear and flew home late outside rivals in deep stretch. AIR COMBAT was tucked in on the rail tracking the frontrunner down the backside, patiently waited for the cue on the fence sitting behind the leaders around the bend, shifted off three wide from the dueling pair in mid-stretch but lacked a bid in the late stages of the race. GIANT TEDDY stumbled on the break to co-trail on the rail at the half, started a rally four wide at the quarter pole, angled seven wide in the stretch run and could only run on gradually down the lane stalling in the final seventy yards. RAPID GREY tracked between foes three wide, chased the lead duo while between rivals in the two path around the bend, had a chance for a small share three wide turning for home but could not offer a finish in the last eighth of a mile. LIGHT THE LAMP travelled four deep on the outside watching the frontrunner, tracked the top two while three wide on the outside through the turn, was in touch if good enough in the four path at the top of the lane but did not have enough late to threaten in deep stretch. ROI SOLEIL stalked four deep on the outside ahead of only the poor starters along the backside, put in a mild run three wide outside rivals in the turn to be in range in the six path between foes in upper stretch, could not find another gear in the drive and finished up one paced in the final furlong.
