Prize Money: $12,915

BAMBOO BAY (4) kept on gamely under Rhys Elliott delivering a narrow victory over the distance at Redcar. Will have a small rise in weights to contend with. Won off much higher marks in the past. Key player. RORY THE CAT (1) is a versatile gelding who was a comfortable 2.5L course and distance winner two-runs ago. Found the extended journey here a stretch too far last time. All five wins since switching to the Lucinda Russell yard have come in this combination of headgear. Respect. Each-way claims go the way of STRIKE RATE (7) and CRYSTAL GUARD (5) with market confidence for either a bonus.

Returns from a 50-day let-up. At the latest run 9th of 13 at Hamilton Park on August 13 over 2400m, on a slow track; 20 len behind Gregorina carrying 56kg at $126. The race before that ran last in a small field at this track on August 2 over 2600m, 15 len behind Tafsir with 60kg at $67. Inclined to look elsewhere at this stage.

Comments
Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on September 24 over 2500m, 4 len behind Sycamore Gap with 54kg at $10. The race before that 3rd of 7 at this track on September 14 over 2500m, 5 len behind Molten Sea with 53.5kg at $29. Going well. In form and can run another forward race.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
