ROYAL QUALITY had an ideal set up rating kindly all alone behind the contesting trio down the backside, smoothly moved in three wide on the turn to bid for the lead in the four path turning for home, had a relentless challenger fighting on outside in the final eighth of a mile but dug in late to fend off the outside rival to the finish line. HATMAKER GIZMO stalked in the third tier on the outside, edged closer going three wide outside horses following the winner through the turn, angled out looming a menacing presence five wide at the top of the stretch but could not get by a determined in the final furlong. GOOD POINT was near the rear having a stalking position, began to pick up rivals when scrubbed for more three wide midway through the turn, shifted out to the six path with a chance for a small share, ran on gamely to the end to win the battle for third money between rivals in the last few jumps. MY MUNNINGS MODEL was brushed inside at the start trailing down the backstretch, continued at the rear taking closer order around the bend, shifted out seven wide finding his best stride for the stretch run and came with a rush in the last sixteenth of a mile to almost close in and capture the show money. ZAKHARI forced the issue on the rail at the start, was reined in conceding the rail with seven sixteenths to go, tracked waiting to move behind the contesting pair around the turn, was in the hunt inside in the two path in upper stretch, was no match for the top two by the furlong marker, dueled for the show award late but last that three way battle in the final few jumps. SECRET STORM stalked close to the back in the two path, closed the gap three wide between foes around the turn, shifted to the four path for the stretch drive and finished up one paced down the lane. AGILE DANCER stalked on the rail ahead of a couple of runners down the backside, improved on the fence at the half to be in midfield, saved ground keeping pace with rivals around the turn to be in range for a share in upper stretch, squeezed up the fence at the furlong marker making a brief run but evened out in the final seventy yards. TODAY travelled between foes in mid-pack, stalked in the third flight having little movement around the bend, had a wall of tiring runners in front of him in the two path in upper stretch, could not find running room until late and by that time could not rally to pose a threat at the wire. DUBAWI BULL broke out on the break, vied between rivals along the backstretch, dueled stubbornly on the rail up front throughout the turn, still was in the mix inside foes two wide at the top of the lane, had nothing left late and emptied out in deep stretch. VERY DEBONAIRE seized the early lead in the three path outside, had company to his inside battling up front three deep at the half, continued to fight outside setting the pace around the turn, was collared on each side turning for home three wide, had little left for the drive and yielded to others in the final furlong. MORSTACHY'S settled near the rear on the outside, made no impact close to the back of the pack travelling three to four wide around the turn, choose the overland route eighth wide at the top of the lane but could not get involved in the stretch running outside foes.
