DARWINN was allowed to settle early, made a three wide move on the far turn, then drew off in the stretch to prove best under a drive. DYNAMITE III stalked the early pace and made a bid on the far turn to shake clear, but proved to be no match for his entry mate while clearly second best. AF WHISPER was void of early speed, then was up for the minor rewards while saving ground. ROYAL OPAL set the early pace on the inside, then angled out for the stretch drive but faded. ON THE MUFV was reserved early, made a mild bid on the far turn while five wide, but was empty in the drive. DIGBIE failed to menace. MW WARRIOR was settled back early while being no threat. PEWTER RIMAL chased the early pace and stopped.

Darwinn is owned by Kenneth Werner and trained by Russell Werner.
