A confidence-boosting win for Bid Spotter in the City Tattersalls Club Cup at Randwick has the four-year-old on target for further stakes success this spring in Melbourne.

The gelding was poleaxed in the Queensland Derby earlier this year when among the favoured runners after winning three in a row in Sydney.

He bounced back to winning form in the Listed Tatts Cup (2400m) at his fourth start this preparation and will now head to the Group Two Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2500m) at Flemington on the last day of the carnival.

"That looks like the ideal race for him," Graeme Rogerson's foreman Roger Elliott said.

"I'll talk it over with Graeme this weekend but it is a logical aim."

Bid Spotter's victory was also a timely boost for the Wiggins family with winning jockey Ryan Wiggins saying it had been a hard week after his younger brother was injured in a fall.

Talented apprentice Taylor Lovelock-Wiggins suffered head and hand injuries in a race fall but was recovering well, his brother said.

"Taylor had an operation on his eye socket yesterday and he's recovering well," Wiggins said.

"It's been a bit of a hard time for the family but that's racing.

"We'll keep moving on and I'm sure he will be back riding winners again."

Bid Spotter was sent out at $5.50 with Nothin' Leica Cat the $4.60 equal favourite with Macknuckle.

Wiggins had Bid Spotter back in the field early while the two favourites were closer to the lead.

But they had little answer to Bid Spotter's finish and he came through to beat Music Review ($14) by half a length with Common Objective ($7) another 1-1/2 lengths third.

Topweight Enzedex Eagle ($10) ran his usual honest race for fourth but trainer Chris Waller said he would now change tactics.

"I think we will look for a welter for him where Mitch Beadman can claim," he said.

"He has to carry too much weight in these races now."

Both Nothin' Leica Cat, who finished eighth, and Cape Breton (sixth), failed in their attempts to keep their Melbourne Cup hopes alive by winning the race and gaining a penalty to elevate them up the order of entry.

Bid Spotter is by Redoute's Choice out of Isolda who Rogerson trained to win the 1995 AJC Champagne Stakes in which she beat Octagonal.

Rogerson and his fellow owners, who include Gerry Harvey, made the hard decision to geld the beautifully-bred colt at the beginning of the year to extend his racing career.
