Race Summary

RIZZI GIRL was boxed inside for seven furlongs, angled out four wide out of the second turn to secure clear racing room then closed with a rush to be up in the final strides while brushing with SNOWDROPS nearing the wire. SISTER STAR set a slow pace under good handling, resisted gamely when challenged through a long drive then just failed to last while coming out a bit late. NOISETTE chased the leader in hand, bid after six furlongs then also dueled to late before bearing out nearing the finish to bump with SNOWDROPS. SNOWDROPS (GB) stalked the pace three wide, bid out of the second turn to loom a threat a furlong out then hung late while being bumped nearing the finish. SPARKLING HUMOR was well placed behind the first flight but was outkicked late. ROMANCIN DIXIE was no factor. CHEF'S CHOICE failed to menace. CUTE CONNIE was well placed to the second turn then faded. NANNYCAM showed little. The portable inner rail was set at zero feet.
