CIUNAS settled into a good rhythm outside another in mid-pack, edged up slightly outside down the backstretch tracking the engaged duo by the half, was roused for more with the leader slipping away briefly at the three eighths pole, closed in measuring the pacesetter on the far turn, pounced three wide on the outside at the head of the lane and had plenty to give, drawing off with authority when asked for more at the furlong pole. DEWOLF was well placed on the outside keeping a close eye on the frontrunner, moved in down the backside to force the issue outside at the half, opened up comfortably at the three furlong pole, rolled along unopposed around the last oval, had the two path clinging up front with the winner closing in at the head of the lane, was no match by the eighth pole but still ran strongly to easily best the rest for the runners up share. PALACE VIEW (IRE) had the rail sharing the rear in the early stages, lagged behind the group down the backstretch as well as through the far turn, swung out widest in the six path in upper stretch and finished up strongly finding his best stride late to be a clear but non-threating third at the wire. CALL ME SUE co-trailed on the outside going three wide on the initial bend, took closer order outside down the backstretch by the half, started to pick up the bit four wide circling a couple of challengers at the five sixteenths pole, shifted to the five path turning for home, stayed on the incorrect lead throughout the drive and finished up evenly between foes for a minor placing in the end. UNBRIDLED WEATHER was eager on the rail pulling at the rider tracking the frontrunner inside another on the first bend, had the fence in the second flight along the back straight with the eventual winner to his outside, shifted out at the five sixteenths pole off a tiring rival coming with a good rally, moved to the two path getting into third place by mid-stretch but could not sustain the run and flattened out in the final seventy yards. STRATUS was brushed on the inside on the break, had the rail position sitting in midfield early on, dropped back a touch at the half, made no headway between horses through the last turn, shifted to the three path for the drive but could only manage to pass the leg weary early leader in mid-stretch. CLASSIC DANCER broke out at the start, cleared crossing over getting to the rail loose up top into the first turn, had company outside by the half mile marker, gave way unable to keep up to the new leader with three furlongs from home, was under a drive trying to hold position on the fence in the final bend and ran out of gas due to his early efforts folding inside runners at the furlong marker.
