SANDSPIT settled well back, moved quickly going into the far
turn, split rivals, went after the leaders from the
4-path and rallied strong to prevail clear late.
FLAT ROCK stalked the leader in a good trip, bid
and took the lead briefly in mid stretch then was
outgunned late by outside foe. SMILING JORDAN in
mid field, made up ground on the far turn, was a
factor into the stretch then got up for the show over
tiring rival. SPREAD THE NEWS had speed to open a
gap, led into the far turn, was under strong handling
then weakened inside in the drive. MESAWMI off the
pace, trailed, then had a mild wide gain to be in
the picture turning for home while 5-wide but had
no final kick. DISBELIEF was well back in the early
going, failed to threaten and was not a stretch factor.
COLDWAR rated in mid field, had no rally and no impact.
TYLER'S JEWEL in mid field and a mild middle move
then hung. COOL PROPOSAL backed away after being
up on the early pace. BREAK EVEN was well back and
showed little. The rider of TYLER'S JEWEL lodged
a claim of foul against the winner for alleged interference
on the far turn. After a review the STEWARDS disallowed
the claim of foul.
