Ridden by David Lopez, she settled in third as Maggie’s Magic set fractions of :21.75 and :46.76 through a half-mile and led into the stretch.

Coming out of the turn, Xtrema was still third but showed a quick turn of foot to pass the leaders in the stretch and open a four-length lead at the wire to finish in :59.62 on a fast track.
