Soar Above won a decent sprint over 6f here last time though has won over track and trip in the past. But KING ZAIN drops in class having gone very close when attempting to make all over a mile here on his reappearance. He gets the vote back over this shorter distance. Billy Mill is upped in class but Corazon Espinado is at home in this grade though rarely gets his head in front and the latter comment also applies to Cliffs Of Capri.
