TOP COMMAND, nicely rated, moved from the outside and disposed of PLUMELETTE and CORTINA in the late stretch. The latter raced in the first flight from the outset, loomed the most dangerous in the final furlong and then hung. PLUMELETTE gained a short lead on the final turn and continued on gamely. SIR LOPEZ turned in a strong effort while being forwardly placed most of the trip. HOCOTIA faltered after being responsible for the pace to the early stretch. ALBION tired.
