Bengal Cat looks a definite improver, a lightly raced filly that may be seen to further advantage when she gets over more ground.

She was never far away than four or fifth, with Craig Williams, fresh from Royal Ascot, giving her an easy run in transit, winning the Murray Cox Handicap at Flemington.

It takes a good filly to beat a male when he is in form, and she gave the odds on favourite, El Greco, a recent Flemington winner, a start, claiming him right on the line.

The merit in her win shows she is definitely improving with each outing, she hasn’t reached her limit yet, there is more to come, she is a promising filly.

That was the improvement John Sadler was expecting, the winners had dried up a bit of late, however, the stable looks to be back in swing again.

Bengal Cat has the maiden off her back, and no better place to achieve that than at headquarters, she appreciated the long run in, going to the line strongly.

Sadler is hoping to bring the filly back to Flemington in two weeks for a Black Type race, the logical decision then would be a break, and aim for the spring.

Breeding Analysis --- Bengal Cat, is by Bernadini, a big percentage of his winners have been at 1400 metres, siring 64 winners this season.

His dam Miaow is American bred, she is by Storm Cat, her dam, Squeak, was a useful mare winning six times with over $1.2 million in stakes, however, her breeding is not all that flash.

Bengal Cat could easily be the best out of this family
