MATTHEWS RITA (NW1FM) even-money favorite tucked early, brushed to the half, held well in quick victory and can take another.

TACTICAL SEELSTER (CLM20000) favorite tucked, brushed and was a handy winner.

MISS MY CHEEK (NW15000FM) went to the top, yielded and was shuffled, sat in the lane with little to no room.

WALLACE HARTLEY (NW5000/3YOCG) was out to the lead, yielded and was shuffled, angled wide around traffic, found room and was moving at the wire.

CENTURY KOMODO (NW1) tucked early, brushed when the speed settled and was a handy winner.

MYRETIREMENTDREAM (W2-4) trotter was parked the mile in brave effort coming up a length short at the end and should get a better trip soon.
