HUGE G broke slowly then rushed up to join the leaders by the five furlong pole, held to the inside but became boxed in halfway through the turn, came under a ride approaching the quarter pole, took advantage of an opening along the rail, responded when asked and finished well under steady handling and left-handed urging to gain second in the late stages. FINAL NOTE broke sharply and pulled the rider to the front, led the field through the turn and into the stretch battled in upper stretch then gave way before the final furlong and was kept to tasked to hold third.

NOUVEAU RICHE stalked four wide behind the early pace battle, became boxed in through the turn, angled out five wide into the stretch and flattened out.
