TOUGH WORKOUT broke sharply to take command and secure the inside, set a rated pace while handling outer pressure, dug in when confronted by UNCLE DAR approaching the lane, dueled head and head from the top of the stretch, kept on resolutely under right handed asks and proved best. UNCLE DAR , bumped at the break, edged up in hand into the turn and gained a stalking spot, bid three deep mid turn, emerged in a battle outside the winner soon into the stretch, fought on near even terms through the final furlong but was kept at bay. SUMMER VIBES drafted back off the pace and settle, gathered steam with a four wide run into the stretch, angled seven wide near the three sixteenths and finished with good energy. J R JONE Z , bumped at the break, was sent up between runners early and reached a stalking spot, circled five wide with chase into the stretch, stayed on past mid stretch then flattened out late. UPTOWNEAGLESLANDED , bumped at the start, edged up three wide to track, came four wide under a ride, pursued between runners past mid stretch and came up empty. SASSE'S CLASS , off the contested pace, angled six wide in upper stretch then failed to menace with a belated gain. MOON FACTOR rushed up soon after the break and pressed the winner, briefly raced between runners past the three eighths, kept trying past mid stretch then faded late. BORLETTI (IRE) rated off the pace and saved ground mid turn, eased out into the stretch, lacked room behind foes nearing mid stretch, shifted out but failed to make an impact. STREET ROCKIN broke slowly, saved ground and failed to menace. BELTANE had speed to the inside of the winner then rated back after a furlong, stayed within range while saving ground mid turn, was under a ride chasing past mid stretch then faded.
