Mccovey Cove N left well from post four, but was forced to take back to third as insider Dixie Lullaby and Scott Coulter filled the pocket behind Mach Magic, who led the field of seven distaffers through fractions of :27.2, :56.4 and 1:25.2 for driver Robert Shepherd.
After Dixie Lullaby tipped out heading into the final turn, Mccovey Cove N reclaimed second inside and shot through the passing lane to catch Mach Magic in a photo finish. Mccovey Cove N notched her fifth win of the year scoring in 1:55.2.
Last a three-quarters, 18-1 longshot Sing Like An Angel and Travis Cullen split horses and edged out Dixie Lullaby for third prize.
