Several of these have become disappointing including Zofar Zogood, who ran well on her debut over the course and distance but poorly when dropped back to a mile last time. She holds Eagle's Flight on that earlier run but her stable companion DANCES WITH STARS found 1m4f stretching his stamina on his debut in June. He was in contention at this trip and, with improvement likely, is handed the vote. Ballinlough Gale has run well in his last two starts over a mile while dual hurdles winner Cafe Con Leche has produced to strong efforts over a mile recently, though both were on heavy ground and he's making his debut on the surface.
