Despite being held up in the Ladbrokes Daily Video Stakes (307 metres) Grizzly Adams ($5) was able to sneak his way to the lead along the rail and get himself a fourth career win.

Prior to his hock injury Grizzly Adams had produced a scorching 17.43 second victory over the same distance – just a slither outside of the Bathurst track record.

Time will tell whether he’ll be able to recapture that eye-catching form but winning trainer Mark Wicks was pleased with the way his runner returned to racing.

“He was a handy dog when we first got him but he cracked his hock since then,” he said.

“It was good to see him get the win but we’re just not sure how he’s going to progress from here.

Grizzly Adams had been held up initially by Cliff Keeping’s run but recovered to win in 18.14 seconds.
