LAURAS LOVE (NW2FM) sat last to the lane, slipped wide, found the gas pedal and roared home to win going away.

JEWELS DRAGON (CD) rushed to the top, set a very pressed pace, dug in gamely while tiring and could not hold off the relentless rally of the fast-closing winner.
WHAT A RUSH (NW16000) sat buried to the final turn, slipped out, went wide and finished best of all but had far to come.
ON THE ROPES (PRF) ranged up uncovered and kept coming through the lane but could not get there chasing the odds-on favorite.
