In rein to Jody Jamieson, Charmed Life got away next-to-last in the featured tilt while Slip Into Glide supplied the group with panels of :26.4, :55.3 and 1:23.4. Despite sitting last at the head of the lane, Charmed Life uncorked a :27-second closing panel to win by a length in 1:52.2 over Slip Into Glide. Rounding out the top three was Mego Moss.
