MO TOURIST tracked the pacesetter outside on the initial turn, made a savvy move to take back sitting behind the engaged duo at the half on the outside, waited for the cue to go in the second flight with a rival inside on the last turn, shifted to the four path outside three others fighting for the top spot down the lane and in the final few jumps got the better of a stubborn frontrunner to edge away for the win. SHAMATEUR was roused in the beginning intent on getting the lead on the rail into the first turn, continued up top pressed by first one rival along the backstretch then another outside by the half, was headed outside with five sixteenths from the wire, dueled through the far turn, inched away getting the advantage again at the furlong pole, gamely dug in down the lane inside but just could not find that little bit more late to fend off the winner in deep stretch. COLONEL MUSTARD went three wide outside foes watching the pair in the first bend, took closer order to bid outside by the half, battled with an insside foe up front around the far turn, poked his head in front for a stride or two between rivals in upper stretch, could not sustain the rally and faded up top in the final seventy yards to just last for the third place share at the wire. PROUD RONIN had a good trip nestled on the rail drafting behind the pacesetter for the first part of the race, angled out off the dueling couple at the quarter pole to be three wide between horses in the hunt at the top of the lane, was in tight with the eventual outside bearing in driving through the stretch, had to take back, angled out for clear run with a sixteen to go being four wide and came on late to almost get the show money at the line. STONKS settled into stride trailing the field going four wide on the first of two turns, made an early move four deep advancing outside horses entering the backstretch, was situated three wide on the outside part of the rear trio on the final turn, shifted out five wide turning for home but could not get involved in the late running. LIL BIT GANGSTA travelled between horses in midfield, was shuffled back losing positioning through the backstretch, had the rail sharing the back end with two outside rivals on the last turn and made little impression inside horses in the drive to the finish line. TRUE SHOT settled near the rear travelling three wide in the early stages, dropped back to last three deep at the half, made no movement with runners on either side in the final bend and could not be a factor in the three path in the stretch drive.
