The well-backed 9/4 favourite Busted Tycoon added to her three hurdle wins by making it four on the trot - landing the concluding caulfieldindustial.com Handicap at Galway under Fran Berry.

A third success of the Festival for Tony Martin and a second for Fran Berry, Busted Tycoon got a waiting ride but she travelled throughout at her ease.

The daughter of Marju, carrying the familiar silks of John Breslin, moved up looking good in the dip. When asked to go and win her race in the final furlong she asserted in good style to beat Dancers Dilemma by three and three parts of a length.

Tony Martin does the training on Busted Tycoon and he explained: "It looks easy but it's not. She's a good filly and did it well. She's grown and gotten stronger throughout the year.

"I think she'll improve another bit and she stays well. She's a real nice prospect.

"John (Breslin) is a good personal friend and a good supporter of the yard. It's great to have a winner here for him.

"This filly is in again on the flat on Saturday and in a hurdle on Sunday. We'll see how she is on Friday morning."

Meanwhile Fran Berry remarked: "She won well, it was great. I followed Pat Smullen (on the eventual second Dancers Dilemma) and he gave me a good lead.

"It's time enough to take it up here when they straighten up and she won with her ears-pricked.

"It's unusual around Galway to enjoy a lovely smooth run all the way like I did there." (TW & EM)
