Verdict

MALINAS GLORY opened his chase account in pretty decisive fashion here last time and a 6 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from following up. He may have most to fear from Walk In Time, who wasn't disgraced on debut in this sphere and she's on a fair mark. Brandt is also worth a second look.
