Spun Gold, Zaeem and Sooqaan have all found the in-form Mister Music too good here recently though Sooqaan notched-up a hat-trick of course and distance wins in January and beat Luath in the process. Medici Moon also won here back in November when beating RED TOUCH. But Mick Appleby’s charge should improve for a recent return from a lay-off and is fancied to take his revenge on today’s more favourable terms. He’s also preferred to Abushamah, who continues to slide down the weights but has yet to race on this surface.
