Sitting three wide without cover for the 1400-metre journey, the Rodger Waters-trained mare just got to the line in time to take out the $14,000 feature.

Waters wasn’t sure she got there with leader Southern Gamble continuing to fight it out in the straight before Spring Action flashed home late.

However apprentice jockey Belinda Wright just got the mare’s nose to the line first, winning by the barest of margins.

“We got to the front about 10 strides before the line and right on the line I didn’t know whether we won or it,” Waters said.

“(Southern Gamble) kept kicking and kicking and kicking and Spring Action flew in the last 50 metres.”

The win was Pastiche’s third in her last four starts.

She scored her first win since June 2016 at Tumut on Boxing Day and hasn’t missed the top two since.

Waters is thrilled to see her back in form after injury curtailed what was a promising start to her career.

“She has been racing well,” Waters said.

“She raced very consistently about 18 months ago and I thought she was going to be an up and comer but she went for a spell, came back and lost form then injured herself.”
