Bathurst Race 8 - Success Stud Celebrates 59 Years Of Horse Breeding Pace
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.

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.
