SAUCY NAME was roused from the onset with intent getting the early lead, maintained a narrow advantage on the rail midway around the bend, relinquished the front end briefly inside of two rivals at the quarter pole, regained control edging away under a well rationed ride in upper stretch and pulled away for the win in the final sixteenth of a mile. SOBIECH prompted the pace on the rail to begin, was throttled down on the fence just behind the leader now watching the lead threesome fight it out at the three eighths marker, kept pace with the leaders taking the short way around the bend, moved to the rail in the final furlong unable to threaten winner late but did show grit inside to dig in capturing the secondary award in photo. GIZMO'S B F F tracked the engaged duo while outside foes down the back straight, advanced on the outside at the seven sixteenths pole to be part of the lead trio while widest in the three path around the turn fighting for the top spot, briefly had a head in front with a quarter mile to run, shifted to the five path still in the hunt in upper stretch, drifted out in the final furlong and lost the battle for the place share in deep stretch. NAUGHTY DESTINY had good early position watching the lead pair initially, moved in together with the outside rival at the half, vied between horses arguing on the front end around the turn angled in the four path between runners in the thick of it all straightening out for the drive but stalled at the eighth pole just lasting in a tight finish for the minors at the wire. HOLIDAY ROSE had a stalking role near the rear, began to pick up the bit on the fence by midturn, angled out four wide at the quarter pole, shifted back inside to the two path in mid-stretch and had good late energy finishing up well in the late going. LADY MOONSHINE was part of the back threesome having the inside on the fence down the backside, saved ground but was making little progression through the bend and while in the two path found its best stride late finishing with good intent in the final furlong. WILDFIRE travelled in mid-pack between horses, settled on the outside of another in range of the lead trio tracking in the second flight around the turn, offered a mild rally at the quarter marker to be in with a chance six wide at the top of the stretch but flattened out not switching leads in the final furlong. SHAMRA tossed her head on the break, shared the rear going three deep along the backstretch, made little headway just off the fence in the turn running, shifted to the five path for the drive to the wire but could not get involved. ZIPFIRE broke inwards at the start, settled in midfield having rivals on either side along the back straight, crept closer travelling outside runners three wide around the oval making a brief rally in midturn but drifted out weakening widest in the seven path at the head of the lane and could no make his presence felt in the late going. NO VISOR stalked between horses at the back of the pack in the beginning, was asked for more offering no response when relegated to the rear at the five sixteenths pole, scraped paint turning for home had had little to show for in the stretch drive.
