GIVEMEMYTHEMEMUSIC rated kindly under a confident hold in the third tier inside another along the backside, was forced to move with the outside rival making a run in midturn, bid for the lead three wide at the quarter pole, assumed control in the four path straightening out for home, opened up at the furlong marker but just prevailed in the end from a quickly approaching late runner. PARADISE PERFECT was ahead of only one runner with the field spread out by many down the backside at the half, started to reach for more ground in midturn with a smart turn of foot three wide, shifted to the seven path at the top of the lane, was full of run staying on the incorrect lead through the stretch but kept on coming to the winner at the wire but could not get there in time. STARVIN was bumped by the inside runner on the break, lagged far back of the pack down the backstretch gathering himself, caught up to rivals circling around horses four wide on the turn, moved out further to the eight path for the drive, continued with a strong sustained rally and closed in belatedly for a solid effort getting the show money. YOU AND ME BABY was under a busy ride chasing the pacesetter along the backside and throughout the turn, moved in at the quarter pole to claim the lead in the two path between horses, surrendered the front to the winner when two wide at the top of the stretch and faded in the final furlong, holding for a minor role inside in the end. LUMBERYARD had an outside position watching the runaway early leader down the backside, started to reel in the frontrunner midway on the turn to bid for the lead four wide with runners on either side at the quarter pole, could not quicken through the stretch and evened out in the final furlong. BLONDINA'S BOY settled between horses in the middle of the pack at the half, ran on evenly keeping pace around the oval and plugged away one paced just off the rail in the stretch drive but could not get involved late. SOL DE VERANO settled outside the eventual winner in the third flight at the half, closed in smartly on the turn to bid five abreast on the outside in a scramble for the lead at the quarter pole, remained in the mix in the six path in upper stretch but tailed off in the final furlong. PRIME PLUS ONE veered out sharply on the break, was nudged along to stay interested in the latter part of the field along the backside, came under a ride making no progression between horses in the two path around the turn at the three eighths marker, shifted to the four path turning for home and passed a few weary runners in the stretch run. YOU'RE SO LUCKY exchanged bumps with the inside horse on the break, stalked close to the rear on the rail in the beginning stages, took the short way around the bend but had little to show for, moved just off the rail at the top of the lane but failed to menace in the drive to the wire. LET'S GO LIAM trading bumps with the outside runner on the start to be near the back, improved on the fence down the backside to be in mid-pack at the half, continued to be scrubbed on at the three furlong pole making very little gain, angled to the four path for the drive and folded in the final furlong. ALFRED BELLOWS was quite headstrong loose on the front end down the backside, continued to roll along on the turn but was collared by many rivals outside at the quarter pole offering little resistance, shortened stride in upper stretch on the fence and stopped by the furlong marker.
