CAUGHT SPEEDING had a narrow advantage on the rail along the backside, edged away for a clear lead at the three furlong pole setting an even pace through the turn, shifted out to be two to three wide holding on up front inside at the top of the lane and was resilient in the final furlong prevailing in a hard fought duel in deep stretch to get the nod inside at the wire for the frontrunning score. WICO (IRE) was situated outside another keeping a close eye on the engaged twosome along the back straight, had a quick turn of foot bursting between the early speed foes two wide at the five sixteenths to bid for the lead, posed the only threat outside in the four path in upper stretch, was driving outside inching up in the final furlong and with one final push just missed at the wire outside being denied in a close photo. COMMANDER AT SEA had the rail position in the second flight inside another rival down the back straight, edged closer saving ground throughout the turn, angled three wide at the top of the stretch, was no match for the front pair who had it to themselves in the last eighth of a mile but finished up willingly nonetheless to be a clear third on the fence at the wire. RY PIE was squeezed at the start to trail the field down the backside, lagged at the rear through the bend, swung out widest in the six path having clear run straightening out for home and with a solid late charge outside runners surged right at the finish line to be a fringe player in a tight picture. BIG BABY HENRY broke inwards on the break, travelled outside in mid-division along the backside, narrowed the margin in the three path around the turn with a quarter mile to run, shifted four wide turning for home and ran on evenly in the last furlong nosed out battling for a minor share at the wire. JMR SPEEDY ESCAPE was forced in at the start, stalking ahead of only the very troubled starter down the backstretch, offered a brief run closing the gap in the two path inside another by midturn and had little to offer in the stretch running inside horses down the lane. ADELAIDE COURT veered outwards on the start, was rank pressuring the pace outside while fighting the rider down the backstretch, had to be steadied getting out at the three furlong pole, still remained in the thick of things four wide on the outside by the quarter pole under right handed urging, had little left for the drive to the wire and wilted five wide between foes in upper stretch.
