Premier trainer Scott Brunton has always had a good opinion of Bond Street Beau and while the four-year-old gelding took his time to break his maiden status over 1900m in Victoria eight weeks ago, the astute mentor believes the gelding is on his way to being a major cups horse.

The Risk Factor led throughout to score emphatic win in Sydeston Cup.

The connections of former Victorian galloper Creative Hero snared a big chunk of the money they paid for the gelding when he powered his way to an impressive win in the $30,000 Tasmanian St Leger over 2150m in Launceston on Wednesday night.
