A drop back in Class 4 company was the key to a return to winning ways for Reddot Rising on Friday night.

If one looks at the formline and the company Reddot Rising recently mixed it with, he is totally out of his depth in Sunday’s $200,000 Group 3 Moonbeam Vase (1600m).

Danny Beasley graciously deflected all credit to fellow jockey Vlad Duric after landing Friday’s $60,000 Class 4 race over 1400m with outsider Reddot Rising.

After Raise No Doubt scored for the Maple Leaf Stable, trainer Stephen Gray and jockey Vlad Duric last Sunday, the combination kept up their winning streak with debutant Reddot Rising on Friday night.
