Brayroan could be set for the Group One Epsom Handicap in the spring after continuing his winning ways at Randwick on Saturday.

The improving four-year-old scored his fourth win on the trot when he chased down tearaway leader Daintree Road to claim the AJC Corporate Membership Handicap (1600m).

Nash Rawiller opened up a big lead on Daintree Road during the race but Hugh Bowman was tactically perfect on Brayroan and was in a position to pounce in the final 200m as the leader stopped.

Brayroan defeated Our Boy Lukas by 1-3/4-lengths with Daintree Road holding on for third another short neck away.

"That was Hugh Bowman at his best," winning trainer Chris Waller said.

"But I was worried at the 400-metre mark and thought this is Nash Rawiller at his best."

Waller believes Brayroan, a son of Zabeel, is capable of taking the next step up when he returns to racing after a spell.

He said he would talk to Brayroan's managing owner Bob Ruttley before deciding what to do with the emerging talent.

"My vote would be to give him a break now and get him back in early (in the spring) and have a serious crack at a race like the Epsom," Waller said.

Waller has enjoyed success in major races over the famous Randwick mile (1600m), winning the Doncaster in 2008 with Triple Honour and again last year with Rangirangdoo.

Brayroan is a home-bred for Bob and Anne-Marie Ruttley who race the gelding.

After the race Rawiller became frustrated when explaining the performance of Daintree Road to stewards and even got up to leave.

Rawiller explained that Daintree Road never came back underneath him in the run and wanted to keep running through the bridle after establishing his lead.

But when then asked to view the footage of the race, Rawiller was in no mood to stick around.

"I've got nothing more to add," Rawiller said.

"Can I go? I've got two other rides and I'd rather concentrate on them.

"What's the use of me watching it, I was out there riding."

Chief steward Ray Murrihy held the matter over until later in the day.

Even though Daintree Road had established a long lead, Bowman said it was important for him to ride his own race.

"I wasn't confident (of catching him) but I didn't want to set sail after him at the half-mile (800m) either," Bowman said.

"I had to ride my race to suit my horse.

"He's a horse worth following, he's strung a few together now and his breeding suggests he'll be better with time. With the way he won today I'm sure that's going to happen."
