SUGARY unhurried in the beginning, settled along the inside, angled three wide into the stretch, rallied to the front four wide approaching the eighth pole and kicked clear to win going away. NOBLE CONTESSA up close early outside the leader, pressed into the far turn, headed rival at the quarter pole, led into the stretch, lost command nearing the eighth pole and saved the place.

POSH HOLLY (IRE) raced three wide around the first turn then settled in the two path, remained there to the stretch and passed tired rivals.

TWO THIRTY FIVE set the pace with SYNTHESIS alongside, dueled with that rival around the second bend, inched head into the stretch, held a short lead over the runner-up through the lane and gamely prevailed. SYNTHESIS pressed the pace from outside, dueled through the far turn, lost a bit of ground into the stretch but continued to apply pressure, was floated out by the winner through the lane and lacked the needed final punch. TRUTH SEEKER tracked off the inside, went three wide into the lane and weakened. MOVE OVER (GB) chased inside to the stretch and faded.

BASIL FLAVOR stumbled badly and broke inward, trailed the field from inside up the backstretch, went inside a rival at the seven-sixteenths, moved into the two path around the far turn, steered out in the stretch, rallied widest and got up in time. MONGOLIAN MISSION broke in and bumped rival, pressed the pace from outside, lost contact around the far turn and chased two wide into the drive, came gain and led briefly in the final moments and got nailed by the winner. FLAG SALUTE cleared quickly then angled to the inside and controlled the pace, cleared around the far turn, inched away upper stretch, challenged again by MONGOLIAN MISSION and led to deep stretch but got outfinished in the closing moments. JUDY WITH GRACE stumbled and got bumped at the start, raced three wide early then went outside a pair of rivals on the backstretch. AVISSE saved ground stalking the pace to the stretch and went one-paced through the lane.

MISS KITNESS set the pace from inside, met outside bid in the lane and held TIZ A UNICORN at bay under right-handed urging. TIZ A UNICORN stalked outside the leader, challenged the winner in the stretch but could not find the needed late kick. BLAZING CHARM lagged behind early, settled along the fence, came out into the stretch and steered out further around SAVING SOPHIE and finished well for the show. SAVING SOPHIE went three to four wide around the first turn, stalked widest up the backstretch, came four wide into lane, drifted out in upper stretch and needed to find more in the final furlong. MARIAH GIRL (ARG) raced off the rail then angled in leaving the backstretch, saved ground into the drive and never produced a bid. LADY ON ICE stumbled at the start, recovered to chase two wide around the first turn, stayed in range and was asked three wide on the second turn but weakened in the late stages.
