Race preview
OUTBACK BOY is somewhat unlucky to still have the maiden tag, having finished first past the post at Ripon last month. Unfortunately, the son of Australia hampered his rival close home, leading to him being placed in second. Despite that disappointment, this looks like the perfect opportunity to make amends and he could prove too classy for his rivals. The unexposed Jack Kennedy appears the most immediate danger and it would be no surprise if the Galileo colt took a step forward, while Crystal Guard is another to consider.
