Verdict
OUTBACK TRAVELLER comes out best at the weights as he drops down into plating company. He’ll go close if running anywhere near a mark of 85. Vibes disappointed in a claimer at the end of last year and has his first start since but Monumental Man won a seller at Brighton earlier and has been competing in handicaps subsequently. Pomme De Terre has plenty to find with the selection on these terms but is still preferred to Trotter.
