Following a three-length romp at Bendigo on debut, the Rubick filly Outback Miss took the step up to city class in her stride with a dominant performance in the McCafe Hcp (1000m) at Caulfield.
Ridden by Blake Shinn for Mick Price and Michael Kent (Jnr), Outback Miss camped on the speed set by the Spirit Of Boom filly Malaboom.
Moving smoothly to the lead Outback Miss had little trouble holding the challenge of the Written By gelding Scorsese by two lengths with a further head back to Malaboom in third.
Mick Price said the daughter of Rubick may have to battle some health issues.
"Her biggest problem is she's got a little growth on her throat that we have been monitoring," Price revealed.
"We'll just have to scope her, and I would like to treat it more intensively now we have got this out of the way.
"She is smart enough to consider to be thinking to go to black-type eventually.
"She is a nice, strong, sound Rubick filly, but I will need a couple of weeks to treat her intensively and see if we can get the throat perfect."
