ROI SOLEIL rated kindly going three deep outside foes seeing the field, glided up around horses four wide on the turn moving very strong at the quarter pole, had a quick turn of foot five wide at the top of the stretch having full run, went past rivals outside by the sixteenth pole and edged away at the finish line for the win. LIGHT THE LAMP had the rail position in the middle of the pack down the backstretch, had to be throttled down when eager pulling the rider closer at the half, had nowhere to go drafting behind the frontrunner inside rivals waiting for a seam to appear midway on the turn, scraped paint darting up the fence having a clear lane in mid-stretch and ran on determinedly unable to quicken with the winner who had full flight down the stretch but did finish up smartly inside rivals to be a troubled second best on this day. GO KART MOZART broke sharp to have the lead on the fence by the five eighths marker while in hand, narrowly kept the advantage on the turn inside with the field bunching up at the five sixteenths pole, angled to the three path in upper stretch still having his head in front with rivals bearing down on either side, did not switch leads fighting up front down the lane, gave way to the winner outside with seventy yards to run and lasted at the finish to hold for the show money. I'M A GAMBLER (IRE) was unhurried inside two others stalking near the rear along the backside, was relegated to last at the quarter pole in the three path with the entire field separated by only a couple of lengths, angled out to the four path looking for a seam and ran on mildly in the stretch drive to get up late to settle on the fringes in the end. OLD CHESTNUT travelled in mid-division on the outside down the back straight, moved closer splitting runners three wide at the five sixteenths pole, charged outside in the four path to bid for the lead turning for home, could not sustain the rally and evened out in the last sixteenth of a mile just getting caught outside for the minor award. CRUMLIN LAD vied between runners early on, settled in midfield with the group very compact at the three eighths pole, was looking for running room on hold with the pack clustered at the quarter pole, was well within striking distance in upper stretch but had no kick to offer in the final furlong. TIME FOR TRUTH chased the pacesetter three deep down the backside, continued to keep a close eye on the front runner between foes not letting the leader get away in midturn, could not hold forward position three wide with runners rallying on both sides at the top of the stretch and had little left for the drive, faltering at the furlong marker.
