EGLISH is well treated, ran well on his latest visit to this track, and has a handy draw, so he gets the narrow vote in an open handicap. Malaysian is too well handicapped to ignore, so she's regarded as a threat, while the in-form Never Back Down could make his presence felt if they go a strong pace.
