Thursday, August 2

APPRENTIC M (NW2FM) was parked to the lead, set a pressed pace as the favorite challenged, dug in stubbornly but tired.

STORMONT ROYALTY (NW2FM) left, tucked, pulled to the half, challenged a stubborn pacesetter, took a short lead but tired and was nailed by the fast-closing winner along the rail.

EXS AND OHS (NW2FM) left to the top, yielded past the quarter, sat pocket, tipped through traffic in the lane, cleared late with game finish but the winner rushed home through the vacated pocket spot.

IMF (NW1) knocked on the door again but just missed with game rally from the pocket chasing the pacesetting favorite to the wire.
