Given that BONDI pulled nicely clear of the rest with the runner-up when scoring on his handicap bow at Goodwood, this 5 lb higher mark looks more than manageable, even before taking into account his potential, as an unexposed colt from a leading yard. New York Minute failed to progress when just behind Babylon at that course on his first run in a handicap, but this track is likely to prove more suitable and he is taken to reverse the placings with that rival and emerge as the main danger.
