SHADOW ONE (NW2700M) had an early tuck, raced third over from the half, ducked to the rail into the lane with strong finish but just missed to the pocket-sitting favorite.

TNT BLUE CHIP (W4-7) yielded, retook and won impressively to score 4th straight win.

DIAMONDTOOTHGERTIE (NW2700) looked good on the front-end romp and would be no surprise if she wins again.
