TURN NORTH settled at the back for the first half-mile, started a forward move near the three-furlong pole, came five-wide into the stretch, and finished well under strong handling and intermittent urging to get up. VICTORY FOR VETS left the gate a little sluggishly, but responded when roused, sped to the front on the first turn, led the way with rivals on either side down the backstretch, kicked on late on the the far turn, came into the stretch with a narrow lead but was surrounded by challengers, kept on well to best all but the winner in a solid effort. REGAL TERKA tracked in the back half of the field but not far from the leaders, launched a bid leaving the seven-sixteenths marker, loomed four-wide as the field spread out across the track, finished willingly but came up short. TX CODE broke on top but ceded the front ot VICTORY FOR VETS, kept to a stalking position along the rail, slipped through along the rail into the stretch, loomed a threat in upper stretch but was outkicked. GOLDEN GRIT got away well, pressed the pace three-wide after the field turned down the backstretch, lapped on the outside of VICTORY FOR VETS to the far turn, then kept on with good interest but was outfinished in the late stages. MR JAWS took up sharply going into the first turn, then settled three-wide in mid-pack, did not respond when asked to go on midway through the far turn, and offered no bid in the stretch.
