WHISTLER'S STYLE tossed her head just as the latch was sprung and brushed the off side stall at the start getting away last and conceding six to seven lengths to the front before settling into stride, settled in pursuit just off the inside detached at the tail of the field, came under encouragement at the three-eighths marker, angled out to swing seven wide into upper stretch, closed well outside showing good courage and was just up in the final jumps to the wire to score. SHE'S COOL coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside and then along the inside under a ride from the seven-sixteenths pole, spun three wide into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge inside the final furlong, seized command over a trio a sixteenth from home, then got nailed in the final strides to the finish. ECHO IN ETERNITY coaxed from the start, chased three then two wide down the backstretch before tucking inside through the turn, came under urging at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch, tipped out to the three path with three-sixteenths to go, dug in under a drive running on to secure the show honors. PROBLEMATICA hustled from the gate, showed the way coaxed along from the two path under pressure from JACKIE THE JOKER to the outside, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch, took to the inside briefly at the three-sixteenths, dug in under threat from a trio coming outwards to get a look at them inside the eighth pole, got collared a sixteenth out and weakened in the late stages. BEST IMPRESSION coaxed from the gate, chased three to four paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked two to three wide through the turn and was ridden along from midway, angled five to six wide at the head of the stretch, weakened in the drive. JACKIE THE JOKER coaxed from the start, pressed the pace of PROBLEMATICA from the outside three wide, came under a ride with seven-sixteenths remaining, swung four wide into upper stretch in retreat and tired through to the finish.
