GYGISTAR was outrun early, moved into contention with a five wide run on the turn and finished gamely on the far outside. SILVER WAGON raced close up outside, raced four wide on the turn and stayed on well to the finish. VALUE PLUS flashed good speed from the outside, opened a clear lead leaving the chute, angled over to the inside, set the pace into the stretch and tired on the rail in the final furlong. SCRAPPY T raced close up along the inside, chased the pace for three quarters and had no response when roused. BAILERO (ARG) was hustled along early, raced inside and had no rally. BADGE OF SILVER chased the pace while between rivals and tired after the opening three quarters.
