Race
Comments: CONDUIT (IRE) a bit slow to begin, settled just off the rail, moved up leaving the last turn, split horses
nearing the stretch, came out in the drive and rallied under urging to prove best. EAGLE MOUNTAIN (GB) stalked outside a rival
or off the rail, came three deep into the stretch, bid outside a foe in midstretch, took a short lead, fought back when challenged
past midstretch and bested the others. DANCING FOREVER saved ground chasing the pace, came out leaving the last turn and four
wide into the stretch and edged a rival for the show. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE (IRE) stalked inside, bid along the rail on the backstretch,
took the lead into the second turn, dueled inside, inched away into the stretch, fought back in midstretch and weakened late
but just lost third. OUT OF CONTROL (BRZ) close up stalking the pace outside a rival, bid three deep on the backstretch, dueled
outside a foe on the final turn and into the stretch and weakened. RED ROCK CANYON (IRE) sped to the early lead, set the pace
inside then a bit off the rail, dueled between foes on the backstretch, dropped back on the second turn and also weakened.
WINCHESTER allowed to settle off the rail, came three deep into the stretch and was not a threat. BETTER TALK NOW settled
a bit off the rail or inside, went around a rival into the stretch and failed to menace. SPRING HOUSE chased outside a rival
then three deep into and on the last turn and weakened in the stretch. RED ROCKS (IRE) chased inside then between horses into
the final turn, was shuffled back a bit on that turn and had little left for the stretch. GRAND COUTURIER (GB) settled just
off the rail without early speed, angled in on the clubhouse turn, saved ground throughout and was outrun. Rail on hill at
zero.
