SPECIAL CLUB vied between rivals up the backstretch, inched ahead early on the turn, fought with outer pair then dueled into the stretch, battled head to head with FORD FRENZY down the lane and dug in to prevail. FORD FRENZY raced up close four deep, challenged four then three deep on the turn, dueled outside SPECIAL CLUB into the lane, battled with the winner into deep stretch but came up just short in the end. GOT'M COT'M stalked the leaders from the rail, coaxed along the inside then in the two path on the turn, surged late outside the top pair but ran out of ground. MY BODACIOUS BOY took a bump from KEITHING THUNDER leaving the gate, stalked outside a rival in the early going, chased two then thee wide on the turn, kept trying down the lane but needed to find more. MISS JO'S CURLIN settled inside, ridden along leaving the turn, tipped out into the lane and offered a mild response to improve position. KEITHING THUNDER broke in and bumped, trailed three wide laving the backstretch, angled to the rail on the turn and passed a rival, then moved out in upper stretch and passed more tired rivals. DRIFTINGANDREAMING fought for the lead with outer pair to the three-eighths pole, could not kick on with the leader midway around the bend and tired down the lane. VAN GOGH STYLE fought three deep to the turn, vied between at the five-sixteenths pole, could not keep up with the top pair late on the bend and folded. KERRY GOLD chased five deep in the early going, lost ground around the bend while staying out wide and weakened in the stretch. FIGHT BACK got crowded between rivals early, tracked four deep into the turn, remained four wide to the stretch and faded. OTTO'S MAGIC broke well then dropped off the pace, angled from the two path to the four path around the bend and was never a factor. LUCKY N SMART bobbled slightly at the start, chased three deep between runners, lost ground around the turn and tired.
