5/2

OVERTURE is out of a very useful mare and related to a winner at the top level, so there's every chance a mark of 63 will underplay her capabilities and she's worth a chance to make a winning handicap debut up in trip. Twilight Vision is another one that's likely to be better than her opening mark, so she's feared along with last-time-out winner Salamanca Lad.
