SHESHIMAINTENANCE prompted the pace on the outside in the early stages, sat contently on the outside shadowing the pacesetter at the half, pounced outside with a quarter mile from the wire, began to pull away from the stubborn pacesetter by the furlong pole and drew off late for the win. STAR ATTRACTION was bumped by the outside foe to begin, had the inside position on two others watching the lead pair, settled into stride on the rail down the backstretch moving well, hugged the rail around the final turn keeping up with the lead duo, shifted to the two path in the mix in upper stretch and got up in the shadow of the wire for the runners up share. DAZZLING CRUISER was allowed to settle at the back of the pack on the first bend, still could see the field down the backside still well within striking distance, passed an inside rival starting to reach for more ground on the rail at the quarter pole and showed a good late run charging on the inside late to almost get the nod for second at the wire. BACKGAMMON had the lead inside early on, remained up front but by only a narrow advantage down the backstretch, was collared by the winner outside on the far turn with a quarter mile remaining, dug in trying to counter on the rail until the furlong pole but had little left in deep stretch and wilted between runners losing a couple of positions late. LA CULASSE bobbled breaking inwards at the start, tracked the front pair between foes on the first turn as well as down the back straight, travelled three wide running evenly keeping pace around the final bend, had a chance in the four path at the head of the lane but needed more late when outfinished by inside runners in the final seventy yards. AUSSIE HYPER tracked four wide around the initial bend, travelled three deep watching the lead duo down the backside, was roused offering no response three wide retreating on the far turn by the five sixteenths marker and emptied out for the drive.
