ATOMIC AGE settled in mid-pack in the two path then along the rail on the first turn, continued on the inside through the clubhouse turn, drew closer while angling out on the final turn, came five wide into the stretch, bid in upper stretch, put a head in front briefly at the sixteenth pole but got outkicked by the top pair. GOLD PHOENIX (IRE) unhurried in the early going and steered to the rail, picked up stride while moving to the two path on the final turn, steadied when lacking room behind a rival turning for home, cut to the inside, rallied along the fence but lacked the needed late punch. MONDEGO (GB) settled outside a rival, remained two wide to the final turn, moved into range while angling four wide, seized control in upper stretch but got outkicked in the last sixteenth.

SANTA BARBARIAN away quickly from inside, showed early foot inside a pair of rivals then took hold and dropped back to a stalking position, tracked from the rail out of range, coaxed along on the final turn, got put in tight and checked entering the lane, then weakened in the drive.
