Outback Blue is the most exposed and has to give weight to a couple of fillies who showed promise on their respective debuts. Daybreak Lady was not beaten that far despite finishing only sixth here last month but INSWING is just preferred. The latter failed to get a clear run when fourth in a Class 4 maiden at Kempton and Ralph Beckett's charge should go close in this grade. Ice Alert is another likely improver while the newcomer Zeehan is related to a winner on the all-weather and worth a second glance.
