Race Comments: FOREVER TOGETHER
chased outside a rival, came out leaving the second turn and five wide into the stretch and rallied under left handed urging
to get up late. SEALY HILL steadied early, settled inside then outside a rival, continued off the rail on the second turn,
came out into the stretch, split horses in the drive then rallied between foes late. WAIT A WHILE stalked the pace outside,
bid three deep on the backstretch and second turn, came out some into the stretch, battled outside rivals in midstretch, put
a head in front in deep stretch and continued willingly to hold third. VISIT (GB) saved ground chasing the pace, got through
inside into the stretch, bid along the rail, took a short lead in midstretch, fought back along the fence to the wire but
was outfinished. VACARE pulled her way along to stalk the pace inside, swung out into the stretch and could not summon the
necessary late kick. MAURALAKANA (FR) angled in and chased toward the inside then outside a rival, came out leaving the second
turn and five wide into the stretch and lacked the needed rally. HALFWAY TO HEAVEN (IRE) stalked outside a rival then between
foes, bid between horses on the backstretch and second turn, fought back past midstretch and weakened late. DYNAFORCE angled
in and saved ground chasing the pace, steadied off heels in midstretch, came out and could not offer the needed response.
FOLK OPERA (IRE) took the early lead and angled in, set the pace inside, battled along the rail on the backstretch and second
turn, came out a bit into the stretch, dropped back between foes nearing midstretch and weakened. PURE CLAN four wide then
three deep leaving the hill, settled off the rail then inside, came out into the stretch and did not rally.
