BINGO BABY was forwardly placed while saving ground in the early stages, tracked the decent pace from the inside along the backstretch run, mounted a rail bid nearing the quarter marker, dueled with CATALINA COCKTAIL into the stretch, was turned away by the winner in the final sixteenth but was clear of the rest for second.
