SAILOR'S PASSION was unhurried co-trailing on the inside along the backstretch, waited behind the embattled twosome at the five sixteenths pole, rallied in the two path with a quarter mile from home, under a well timed move burst to the front splitting foes with a sixteenth to go and just withstood the late surge from the fast closing rival outside at the wire. BACHELOR PAD co-trailed on the outside settling into stride down the backstretch, continued at the rear just off the fence throughout the turn, swung out widest having a clear run seven wide turning for home, charging outside rivals in mid-stretch and just missed at the wire with one final late surge. JUSTINTIMEFORWINE had the rail position in midfield down the backside, was under a snug hold waiting for the cue to move on the fence around the turn, shifted out posing a threat four wide in upper stretch, got his head in front for a brief moment at the sixteenth pole but could not fend off the late rallying rivals on both sides in deep stretch. WALTER ME LAD prompted the issue on the outside in the backstretch, moved in to battle outside going head-to-head around the oval, stubbornly dug in three wide between foes dueling down the lane and faded ever so slightly in deep stretch to settle on the fringes while not beaten that far for the win. TAZMAN was away alertly having the lead along the backside, dueled up top having company to his outside through the turn, bobbed heads fighting on the front end while traveling on the fence down the stretch, could not keep up late and weakened at the sixteenth pole. MAD DOG N JOE settled in the middle of the field going four deep down the back straight, stalked in the third flight outside making little movement around the bend, shifted three wide at the quarter marker and lacked a rally on the rail in the final furlong. SECRET STORM travelled in mid-division between foes in the two path in the early stages, moved out to the five path for the stretch running, had little to give and failed to fire in the last eighth of a mile. NINETYFOUR EXPOS tracked the front pair while going three deep along the back straight, continue the three wide journey still keeping a close eye on the lead duo around the bend, angled out six wide for the drive to the wire, had little to offer down the lane and yielded by the three sixteenths pole.
