Connections can't complain at the draw Travis Bickle has been handed. He'll have the stands' rail to race against and, with Richard Hughes doing the steering, must go close as he looked ready for an extra furlong when second on the Polytrack here last month. But OUTBACK TRAVELLER's fourth at Newmarket looks stronger form and he's fancied to come out on top in this granted normal improvement. Almargo is speedily bred but Torchlighter may need further. Midnight Rambler can only improve on his first run but Chainsaw only beat one home over 7f at HQ last time.
