MISS PHARAOH pursued from midpack near the inside, got shuffled behind a stopping rival into the far turn, recovered before swinging out to the five path entering the lane, ran on, issued a bid for place while lugging in and brushing a rival in the final furlong, then edged that position passing the sixteenth pole. SNIPSNIPPITYSNIP stalked three wide, pressed with five furlongs to go, sustained pressure two wide while remaining in the three path around the far turn, got outkicked by an outer rival entering upper stretch, vied for place into the final furlong, but was brushed by an outer lugging bidder in the final furlong and got bested. BEAUTIFUL PHARAOH settled near the rear two wide, advanced in the four path around the far turn before fanning to the six to seven path into the lane and rallied willingly. PRETTY TAPIT laid off of the pace two wide, moved three wide and between foes reaching the half mile pole, tracked among rivals around the far turn, then lacked a bid and chased mildly through the lane.
