New Zealander Lord Tavistock further enhanced his stud value when he upset a good field in the Group Two Blamey Stakes at Flemington, and connections will now discuss a Sydney autumn campaign for the entire.

Otaki trainer Andrew Campbell, a part-owner of the Montjeu four-year-old, said the horse was brought to Melbourne to try to win a Group One or Two race.

He is already a dual Group One winner in New Zealand.

Campbell said he was probably ridden a little too handy when fifth of six to outstanding mare Typhoon Tracy in the Group One Futurity Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield last month.

Ridden by his regular Kiwi jockey Jason Waddell in Saturday's 1600m feature, Lord Tavistock ($17) came from last of the nine runners for a three-quarter length victory over Vigor ($5), who had kicked clear in the straight, with Dao Dao ($2.10 fav) a half-length away third.

Lord Tavistock is out of the Quest For Fame mare Upstage who was unraced while his third dam Mrs Moss is the mother of Japan Cup winner Jupiter Island.

As a three-year-old Lord Tavistock had a campaign with Melbourne trainer Mick Price, winning a 1400m event at Flemington.

"That was probably the making of the horse," Campbell said.

"He came back a different horse mentally and his eating improved out of sight."

Lord Tavistock has now raced 17 times for six wins, four placings and $538,431 in prizemoney.

Campbell said he would talk with managing owner Tommy Heptinstall, who was not at Flemington on Saturday, before making any immediate plans.

Lord Tavistock has been staying at trainer Peter Morgan's Whittlesea property and Campbell said it had really helped the horse.

"It's been a change of scenery and we've been putting him in the pool and using the water treadmill. It's great," he said.
