Jimmy Devaux was aggressive with the eight-year-old Real Desire mare from the get-go, powering to the early lead and widening her margin steadily to defeat Hereslooknatyou N by 5-1/2 lengths in 1:55. Glenferrie Blade A rallied for third.
Misty Memory N, who recorded her second win in 12 starts this year for trainer Brett Derue and fellow co-owners Steven Picarazzi and Scott Petillo, returned $5.40 to win as the 8-5 favourite.

Surreal Feeling had little difficulty going wire to wire in the $11,000 Winners-Over Mare Pace at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Wednesday (April 7).
The six-year-old was assigned post 6 in the six-horse feature, but wasted no time moving to the early lead. Surreal Feeling was hounded throughout the entire second-half of the mile by rival Berazzled, who was making her debut in the local Open, but held strong in the stretch to prevail in a win photo scoring in 1:54 in the feature.
For Surreal Feeling, it was victory No. 24 in 71 starts. Berazzled was a strong second while Thats Incredible finished third. The exacta and triple in the feature paid $8.90 and $27.20, respectively, with the 1-5 favourite on top. The win in the feature was one of three on the card for Jimmy Devaux who currently sits third in the driver standings for the ’21 season. Surreal Feeling races for trainer Dale Lawton and co-owner Chris Lawton.
