Massive Profit (Muscle Massive) muscled through a first-over journey and held on by three-quarters-of-a-length to win the fourth in 2:00.4 for Borth. The reinsman then gave Chief Editor (Sportswriter) a pocket trip in the fifth , and the gelding cruised to a three-and-a-quarter-length victory in 1:59.3.
