Verdict

GLORY TO BE has made steady progress in her 3 starts and will stand a good chance of getting off the mark here if that trend continues. Washington Street was below par last time but will be a threat if recapturing the form he showed when runner-up on his 3 outings prior to that. Men of Honour may prove best of the rest.
