He scored one win before racing was abandoned on Sunday and Brett Robb was still in fine form when the rest of the meeting at Coonamble was contested on Tuesday.

The Nyngan trainer took out two of the first three events on Tuesday, with Kogi Lass and Bean Hot showing plenty of fight in the straight to get the job done.
The early double came after Dalavin won on Sunday prior to the rain and surface water on the Coonamble track making it unsuitable for racing.
After Kogi Lass has taken out Tuesday's opener, Bean Hot saluted in the day's third event, the Coonamble Ag Spray and Hire and Regional Insurance Services Class 1 Handicap (1300m).

A gelding who enjoys the soft surface, the promising Bean Hot made it win number two from six career starts when moving clear to salute as a $2.20 favourite at Coonamble.
"I've always thought he went alright ever since we broke him in and educated him," Robb told Sky Thoroughbred Central after jockey Clayton Gallagher piloted Bean Hot to a one-and-three-quarter length win.
"Clayton knows him and was there at home when we broke him in so that's handy.
"He likes the soft track ... I think he's going to be alright.
"The last three or four times I've taken him to the races I thought I'd give him that start then put him in the paddock but he always seems to run a good race then goes home and does well."
A spell is now likely for the three-year-old, who Robb expects to get over more ground in the future.
The victory was Gallagher's second with Bean Hot after the pair combined to great effect at Dubbo Turf Club last month.
"He handled it really, really well," Gallagher said of the soft 6-rated track.
The result with Bean Hot made it a race-to-race double for Gallagher at Coonamble.
He had previously won the Australia Turf Club and Sydney Cricket Ground Class 1 and Maiden Showcase Plate (1600m) with Gorgeous Success.
The victory was Gorgeous Success' first since joining the Gilgandra stables of Kieren Hazleton.
That result had come after Kogi Lass' win in the day's opener.
New Zealand-born jockey Casey Waddell combined with the Robb-trained mare in that race.
A four-year-old who had endured some bad luck in her first 14 starts, Kogi Lass ($3 equal favourite) fought on gamely on Tuesday to hold off fellow $3 equal favourite, Prodigal Prince.
"She's a real little trier and she hasn't run a bad race since we got her," Robb said.
"We were pretty confident coming here today."
