CAPTIVATING NAME stalked on the rail in the third flight rating kindly, started to reach for more ground when asked at the five sixteenths pole, was on hold coming up behind a wall of runners three wide with a quarter mile left to run, still had no lane angling out to the six path at the top of the stretch, finally had clear run at the furlong marker outside and under a patiently handled ride surged quickly in deep stretch to just get up in time for the late charging win. ONENIGHTSTANDARDS settled close to the back going four wide on the beginning corner, had a stalking position ahead of only a couple of rivals down the back straightaway, commenced a rally splitting runners at the five sixteenths marker, loomed a menacing presence seven wide straightening out for home, drifted inwards under a drive down the lane taking the lead in the two path by the sixteenth pole but could not hold off the winner outside losing the nod at the wire. SHAMATEUR had a slim lead on the rail in the first turn, continued to lead narrowly while hounded outside by a couple of runners down the backstretch, edged away slightly at the half, kept a head in front still shadowed outside by runners through the final bend, scraped paint determinedly clinging up top taking the final corner and gave way grudgingly inside in the final seventy yards taking the show award on the wrong end of a tight three way finish for the win at the wire. ETHNIC SOUL had a slow beginning seeing the field, continued to lag at the rear down the backstretch, started to make a move two wide passing an outside tiring foe at the quarter pole, skimmed the fence improving in upper stretch, had to alter course sharply coming up to the leader three wide leaving the eighth pole and ran on mildly in deep stretch garnering a minor placing in the end. SAILOR'S PASSION had a good spot drafting just behind the frontrunner on the rail under a snug hold in the early stages, sat poised looking for a seam ready to run at the quarter pole, shifted to the two path lacking running room in upper stretch, had to be checked losing its path to an inside runner veering out at the furlong pole and could not recover in time to factor at the finish line. BLONDINA'S BOY travelled three wide circling runners in midfield advancing through the first bend, took closer order down the backstretch prompting the issue outside the embattled pair by the half, argued for the lead three wide around the second turn with the two inside foes, remained in the mix between horses with many fanned across in upper stretch with a chance but had little to offer late wilting in the last furlong. CONACHER was forwardly placed between runners tracking the lead duo on the first of two turns, made little movement along the backside, chased the lead trio shifting out four wide in the second bend by the quarter pole, had a chance for a piece of the prize in the five path at the top of the lane but had little left late and weakened at the furlong marker. BOURBONONAHOLIDAY was floated out widest in the five path entering the first turn while near the rear, advanced three deep down the backside sitting in midfield by the half mile marker, travelled three wide on the far turn but was going in the wrong direction by the five sixteenths pole, folded four wide by the quarter pole but did pass a straggler in the stretch drive. SO CALLED VACATION was hustled right from the start forcing the pace outside, vied between horses down the backstretch, was still fighting in the mix up top two wide with runners on each side around the far turn, was the first of the lead three to give way dueling on the front end by the quarter pole and ran out of steam, faltering in the stretch by the furlong pole.
