Start good and slow. Won driving; second and third same. BEHAVE YOURSELF began slowly, but saved much ground on the last two turns and, going steadily in the stretch, outstayed BLACK SERVANT in a game finish. The latter showed fine speed in pacemaking and disposed of LEONARDO II before going three-quarters, then held on well in the final drive, but tired near the end. PRUDERY made a wide turn into the stretch and finished gamely. TRYSTER was far back in the early running, but finished fast and gaining. LEONARDO II tired after going well for the first mile. CAREFUL was done after going three-quarters. COYNE ran fairly well. Scratched - Billy Barton, Grey lag, Firebrand.
