FILM ACADEMY was well placed on the rail keeping in close co tact with the pacesetter, shifted outside at the five sixteenths pole being to reel in the frontrunner, moved in making his presence felt three wide outside the leader at the top of the stretch, took control with little resistance by the furlong po,e and had to be kept busy to the very end just holding on from the late closing runner up outside at the wire. KING ROSSO was hard sent on the fence having the lines shaken trying to get to the lead under the wire for the first time, had to take back unable to accelerate with the lead three into the initial bend, settled into stride outside down the backstretch three deep in the middle of the pack by the half, was scrubbed on but could not gain on the leaders while three wide on the far turn, angled to the six path taking the corner and had a good late charge under a vigorous ride in the final furling closing in sharply late angling inside to the winner in deep stretch but could not get there in time. LOST STAR took to overland route going four wide close to the back end on the first bend, was hard held outside foes making no progression along the back straightaway, still could not make any headway going four wide on the last turn, shifted to the five path in upper stretch, dueled inside another at the furlong pole for the place share but had to be checked briefly between runners in deep stretch saving for the third place share at the finish line. CONNOR circled three wide going around foes to be loose up top on the rail when entering the backstretch, rolled along unchallenged at the half, continued to move well within himself controlling the pace through the far turn, shifted to the two path with the eventual winner bearing down outside straightening out for the drive to the wire, surrendered the lead on the rail by the furlong pole and faded inside rivals with a sixteenth still to run losing a couple of positions late taking home only a minor placing in the end. MOHAYMEN DIAMOND broke slowly on the start spotting the field, was very rank on the fence tossing its head fighting the rider into the initial bend, improved on the rail along the back straight to sit in midfield with two outside rivals by the half, kept pace on the rail but was driven to do so midway around the last bend, scraped paint turning for home and drifted out considerably under left handed encouragement by the rider into the final sixteenth of a mile unable to get into contention. HOLIDAY SNOOZE travelled two wide near the rear between runners, advanced between foes in the two path down the backstretch to be in mid-division at the half mile marker, remained just off the rail running evenly along the far turn, had the two path for the stretch drive but could no offer a rally being constantly forced out by the inside rival in the final sixteenth with the rider falling back in the saddle a few times unable to push for more in-the late going. QUIET VISTA was on the outside of a couple of runners in mid-pack going three wide on the beginning turn, dropped back losing position entering the backstretch, offered no run making little movement on the fence around the final bend and could not factor shifting out to the four path through the stretch drive. FLEET OF FOOT was forwardly placed tracking the pa setter outside in the early stages, could not quicken with the front two rivals at the five sixteenths pole even though roused for more run, angled to the four path at the head of the lane in with a chance still for a small share butwilred between foes in the final furlong. MOTION GRANTED was unhurried at the tail end going into the first of two turns, remained at the rear throughout the backside, travelled just off the rail seeing the field on the final bend, angled out sharply to be widest in the eight path in upper stretch but had no finish to give outside horses down the lane.
