FIGHTER IN THE WIN had an ideal spot alone watching the contest duo set at brisk pace down the backside, rated kindly on the rail in the final turn waiting for the order to go from the rider, shifted out having clear run five wide turning for home, picked up the bit when called upon at the furlong marker taking the lead by the sixteenths pole and held on for the win at the wire. CORNWALL had an inside position in mid- pack down the backside, closed the gap on the fence through the far turn, was in the thick of things four wide at the quarter pole, kept on coming down the entire stretch but just could not get to the winner in time and settled for the seond place prize at the witre. ONE MORE BREW broke in at the start, stalked ahead of only one runner in the early stages, started to make a rally angling put three wide outside foes at the five sixteenths pole, shifted out further in the eight path gaining momentum in upper stretch and finished up willingly to capture the show money in the late going. BREAKING ALONE was in tight leaving the gate to trail after the start, lagged behind down the backside, made little impression still at the rear through the far turn, shifted out from the fence at the five sixteenths pole to be widest swinging for home in the nine path, finished up gradually outside down the lane to just get up and settled on the fringes in the end. SOULMATE had the lead under a snug hold in the beginning, was pressed by an outside foe who was making a premature move quickening the tempo considerably down the backstretch, held hos own up front on the fence around the final bend, continued to dig in clinging onto the lead at the furlong pole on the rail but had little left in the tank in deep stretch and faded inside runners in the final sixteenth. MEDIA SENSATION travelled four wide outside in mid-pack early on, settled in the second flight three deep outside horses down the back straight, made no movement in the three path between runners on the last turn and failed to fire in the five path in the final furlong. REALLY GOOD stalked going three wide between foes in the beginning, made an early move to force the quick pace outside down the backstretch, continued to hund the leader outside through the far turn, shifted out four wide in the hunt at the top of the stretch, had little elft for the late running, folded by the furlong pole and was not persevered with in the final seventy yards.
