Oliver drove the two-year-old Tivaci filly up the rail in the concluding stages of the 1300m event on the heavy track to score the victory.

Wednesday's win was a heat of the Taj Rossi series and the strong performance has O'Brien looking at 1600m final at Flemington on July 2 for the next start for his Waikato Stud graduate.
