AWE INSPIRED was isolated in mid-pack rating kindly through the first turn and along the backside, advanced inside of horses making a sharp move on the fence at the quarter pole, shifted to the two path at the top of the lane posing the main opposition at the furlong pole and drove by a leg weary leader outside in the final sixteenth of a mile to win going away in the end for the win. KING PUTT had the lead on the inside going into the first turn, continued up top top setting a brisk pace while shadowed outside down the back straightaway, edged away from the other early speed runner by the three eighths pole, still maintained a comfortable advantage but was shortening stride on the incorrect lead in mid-stretch and could not fend off the winner outside at the sixteenth pole all the while saving for the place share at the wire. MONDAY MORNING broke outwards but was quickly straightened out on the break, had the inside position well back off the embattled duo down the back straightaway, started to reel in the lead twosome just off the fence at the quarter pole, moved in to be in the thick of things four wide between rivals at the top of the stretch and closed belatedly through the lane in the final furlong to get up for the show money at the wire. PERFECT PLAY settled at the rear heading into the first bend, lagged well behind with the field spread out down the backstretch, moved closer but could not gain position taking the short way on the final turn, hugged the rail passing a rival at the top of the lane and found his best stride late on the fence in the final furlong to be a fringe player at the finish line. GUARD OF HONOUR prompted the issue outside in the beginning, hounded the frontrunner while separating themselves from the field setting a brisk tempo down the backstretch, could not continue on with the pacesetter at the three eighths marker, dueled for the secondary share between horses three wide in upper stretch, had little left late and faded in the final furlong. FINAL RUN FOR LOVE stalked close to the back on the rail with the field strung out down the backstretch, came under a ride between foes two wide making little impression around the far turn and could not get into contention just off the rail in the stretch running. BOURBONONAHOLIDAY had a tracking position outside another watching the engaged pair in the early stages, closed the gap slightly going three wide at the quarter pole, swung out widest in the five path for the stretch drive but offered little outside foes in the late running. QUANDALE travelled three wide near the rear on the first of two of two turns, made little improvement three deep outside rivals along the backside, could not advance three wide outside horses on the second bend and emptied out in the four path at the top of the lane.
