Awesome Again was unhurried early, advanced 4 wide 2nd turn, split horses, and won driving. Silver Charm prompted pace 4 wide in backstretch, led in upper stretch, and drifted in stretch. Swain was well placed early saving ground, angled 4 wide and bore out in stretch. Victory Gallop was in hand early, advanced inside on the second turn and had strong rally. Coronado’s Quest sprinted clear, maintained lead under good handling, went on gamely. Skip Away pressed the pace saving ground and, came up empty through stretch. Running Stag was steadied early and through early. Touch Gold was in hand early, made mild bid at 3/8 pole and flattened out. Arch pressed pace the 3 wide in backstretch, was factor to the upper stretch and tired. Gentlemen was well placed through after three quarters and eased in stretch.
