Bathurst Race 8

Success Stud Celebrates 59 Years Of Horse Breeding Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

TACTICAL ILLUSION (6) has not raced for ten weeks but looks forward enough for the return after winning a recent trial. Showed some good form last campaign including a win at this circuit and distance three back. Could prove hard to beat on her return. MAKES YOU WONDER (10) comes back in grade off a last-start midfield effort. Scored back to back wins in August, one of them here. Has the ability to take care of this field. ROYAL VILLA (9) placed when first-up two runs back then broke and suffered a flat tyre last start. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane so could make amends. FEISTY TIGER (5) deserved the last-start win at Eugowra following back-to-back placings. Go well again.

Resumes. Her previous first-up run was successful when she won by 2.5 m (Sr4) at Forbes (2:03.00) beating Yarraman Tilly in M on May 3 at $7.50. May need the outing and prefer others this time.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr3) over 2260m after showing early speed at this track was 3rd-5.83 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Shaun Shannon (2:46.70) on September 30 at $21. At the previous start 8th (Fr2) over 1700m at Cowra, beaten 65 m by Runkle (2:01.60) in 4yo+ on September 20 at $9. Strong claims.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
