BETTER MIX (USA) (P Dobbs) commenced awkwardly and shifted outwards onto JUMHOOR (IRE) (A Ajtebi) with that horse then shifting out onto FIGHT (USA) (R Mullen) which had to be steadied. DREADLOCK (ARG) hung outwards making the turn into the 1400m. SECOND NATURE (USA) (W Rafiq) was steadied passing the 1400m and then raced wide for the remainder of the race.
