OUTBACK TRAVELLER takes a marked drop in grade here and he can get back to winning ways by taking this selling event. The selection is making just his second start for this yard and he can see off Vibes who can finish runner-up on his return from a break while third place can go to Pomme De Terre who makes his first start at this level.
