Too Much Humor for Profiteroles

La Belle Vie (Speightstown - Dither by Housebuster) and Gin and Soto (Soto - Gin and Jazz by Taylor's Falls) were scratched, leaving a field of 5. Mandira (Indian Charlie - Hollywood and Wine by Tactical Cat) was favored, but Age of Humor (Distorted Humor - Age of Silver by Silver Deputy) and Winsomeforme (Ten Most Wanted - Let's Get Risky by Cryptoclearance) were also well-respected. Profiteroles (Afleet Alex - Rietondale by Dynaformer) was 4-1. Winsomeforme set the early pace, but Mandira was just off of her. Age of Humor was just off these. Winsomeforme and Mandira traded the lead a few times, but Age of Humor went by them both to get the win. Profiteroles ran fairly evenly, fourth all the way round. Watch the Replay.
