ENCHANT ME was shuffled back when stuck behind a runner at the half to sit near the rear having the fence, started to mount a rally on the rail at the quarter marker, darted inside runners at the eighth pole lengthening stride, shifted out in the two path staying on the wrong lead down the lane, nevertheless still kept determinedly closing in late and wore down the leader in the shadow of the wire for the win. HIGHLAND SOCIETY battled on the rail inside a fellow rival up top down the backstretch, edged away from the pesky speed foe by the quarter pole, opened up sharply appearing to be well in control by the furlong marker but could not find more in the late stages and was nabbed by the winner outside in the final few jumps. EXECUTIVE SEARCH emerged from the pack poking his head in front entering the backstretch, dropped back on the rail to track the lead duo at the half, inched closer running just off the rail around the bend and ran on mildly in the four path to be a clear but non threatening third at the finish line. KID FORESTER tossed his head on the break to trail the field down the backstretch, caught up to a runner going by on the inside at the three eighths marker, picked up another foe by the quarter pole gathering more speed and with a solid late run shifting out from the fence to be three wide at the furlong pole closed in to garner a minor placing in a tight finish between horses at the wire. WINSTON BLUE settled between rivals in the two path tracking the engaged leaders, kept pace in mid-pack outside another around the turn, angled to the four path for the drive to the wire and found his best run late, coming on at the finish line fighting outside for the minors. BOLD RELOAD was in close range eyeing the front two while in the three path with runners on each side at the half, moved in ominously three wide measuring the contesting pair by the quarter pole, appeared to be the main threat outside four wide turning for home, but stalked in the rally by the furlong marker and lost the battle for the minors in a three way finish inside at the wire. CLASSIC DANCER dueled on the outside in the early stages, was roused for more with the pacesetter just getting away a touch at the quarter pole, still was in the mix for a piece of the prize two wide in upper stretch but had little left from his earlier efforts and yielded between foes leaving the eighth pole. ROYAL HUDSON tracked the lead pair while four deep outside runners early on, was going the wrong way three wide throughout the oval and could not factor in the three path in the late running. BET N WIN had a stalking role near the rear outside along the back straight, travelled three wide seeing the field midway on the turn and could not get involved running just off the fence in the stretch drive.
