NEPAL UP outrun early, in a bit tight with a half to run, moved closer along the inside second turn, in some traffic late in that bend, split foes when clear nearing midstretch, edging clear under firm handling. KHOZY MY BOY settled off the early pace, steadied in tight with over a half mile remaining, advanced three to four wide through the turn, lodged a bid while widest with a furlong to run, drifting in ever so slightly playing a minor role in tightening ALLO ENTRY in tight inside the furlong grounds, could not match the winner late held proving determined for the place. FEATHERS ROAD closest to the leader while off the inside, challenged into the far turn, took over to be clear midway on that turn, drifted out when vying between horses midstretch as the primary culprit putting ALLOW ENRY in tight, also failed to match strides with the winner late, outkicked for the second spot late. DEFLATER sprinted clear to set the pace inside, headed far turn, continued to run on through the stretch, proved stubborn to the end. GO CATS in mid pack while racing outside, checked up midway up the backstretch when in tight, three wide through the final bend, went evenly through the stretch. ALLO ENRY within striking distance while off the inside, moved a bit closer into the stretch pinched back in tight quarters between horses at the furlong marker, fell back to lose all chance. OUT RUN'M off a step slow, trailed for five furlongs, passed a couple of tiring rivals while not a threat. VANISKY lacked speed and failed to menace. MAN ON THE MOON forwardly placed briefly in the early going, began a steady retreat before a half. GOOD LIKE MAGIC off a step slow, raced further and further back, jogged in. FOLLOWING A STEWARDS' INQUIRY REGARDING THE STRETCH RUN, FEATHERS RUN WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM THIRD AND PLACED SIXTH.
