TITLED LADY dueled for the lead with an outer rival into and around the turn, cleared in upper stretch and drew off handily. DEMI stalked the embattled leading pair from the two path, shifted out to the five path entering the lane, ran on while no match for the winner yet pulled away from the rest to prove second best. PROGENY broke a step slow, tracked along the inside, edged show from an outer foe in the final furlong, shifted out as an outer SENSE OF PEARL challenged for that position at the sixteenth pole, took firm contact from that one leaving that station, yet sparred for show through the closing stages and narrowly held. SENSE OF PEARL broke outwardly, raced off of the pace along the inside while retreating approaching the turn, trailed in the three to four path around the bend, swung out to the seven path into the lane, stayed on to progress outside of rivals in midstretch, but drifted in while bidding for show at the sixteenth pole, squarely bumped an inner rival leaving that marker, battled for show thereafter but hung. GOLDEN DEGREE broke a step slow, was put to tight quarters by an inner foe and forced to bump an outer rival in the process, trailed in the three path early on, progressed into and around the turn, shfited out leaving the three sixteenths pole but flattened out between rivals. WE'LL DO IT LIVE bobbled subtly and was bumped by an inner foe at the start, rushed to duel for the lead outside of the eventual winner shortly after, but leaned out to the four path into the lane and weakened. SMART WITH HEART chased in the five path, but steadily weakened approaching and around the turn, fanned to the nine path into the lane and was eased thereafter.
