ORLANDO BLUE A (NW4450) was parked the mile, grinded up, challenged the last quarter and was tiring through the lane. Beaten favorite can atone with better trip.

ARTIFACT HANOVER (CLMHCP20/25000) sat in and closed well along the rail to get up for 2nd and bears watching.

SOUTHWIND GENDRY (NW18000) was parked the mile with poor cover, went wide to clear, rallied a long way and closed with pace.

POUND FOR POUND (CLMHCP20/25000) won by six in second score in a row and will be a force in next.

TORRENE (NW17500) going away in last and can take another.

PHENOM SEELSTER (CM7500) well-bet second choice yielded, retook and yielded again in the final turn to the favorite and was easily second best.

DAVENPORT (NW1FM) wired the field impressively and would be no surprise if she repeats.
