HEAVENLY DREAM was a little slow into stride, advanced steadily while racing five-wide down the backstretch, moved up four-wide through the turn, finished up well under strong handling, collared the leaders near the sixteenth marker, and drew off in the final yards. TAKING IT ALL broke on top, hustled away, had a narrow early lead with a trio of rivals in close pursuit, had only GLORY O to deal with through the turn, dueled that one into the stretch, maintained a short lead, but no answer when the eventual winner took the lead at the sixteenth marker, and kept on well enough to save second. ANNIE'S JOY was outpaced early, settled near the back of the pack for the run down the backstretch, swept three-wide around the field on the turn, gained good ground in the stretch but was along too late. GLORY O broke in, making light contact with SERIOUSLY SASSY, pressed the early pace from the inside, then dueled with TAKING IT ALL through the turn, fought gamely to mid-stretch, then weakened in the closing stages. TAPITSGOTAPISTOL tracked the pace from the rail, was without a clear path through the turn, improved with some late interest, but was not doing enough in the final yards. RUMPUS gave an even effort throughout, but was never a threat. SERIOUSLY SASSY got brushed by the outside rival after the start, then was outpaced early, came seven-wide into the stretch, but was outfinished. DEMOTION broke awkwardly, pressed the early pace two to three paths from the rail, then weakened in upper stretch. CAPETOWN CANDY dropped back to last early, chased while being kept to a three-wide path, then managed to pass one rival before the finish. PHUNK broke well, pressed the pace three to four wide, then tired in the stretch.
