How they ran.

First Time stalked the leaders for the first four furlongs then made steady headway to take up the lead in the home stretch going on to win The Critical Eye drawing away by four lengths.

Fioretti started in last place five lengths behind the pace setter then ran on to finish second with no chance of catching the winner.
Nice High Five started in second then steadied back to race in last place staying on at one pace passing the beaten Fast Witch to finish third.

Fast Witch led the field from the off till the home stretch then just weakened badly being passed by the other three runers to finish last beaten by eight lengths.
