Jockey Jason Holder is making steady progress in hospital after regaining consciousness following a fall at Eagle Farm a week ago.
His manager Tad Pattillo said Holder was out of intensive care but was still receiving visits from family members only.
"It's a matter of time now and taking things slowly," Pattillo said.
"The latest scans are clear and look promising and the doctors are hopeful for a full recovery.
"He's fully awake now and has been talking with his family."
Holder suffered a fractured skull and cheekbone when his mount Oscar The Great fell in the Te Rapa Handicap (1200m) at last Wednesday's meeting.
Pattillo said it was not known how much longer Holder would remain in hospital or when he would be able to ride again.
Holder, a winner of five Adelaide jockeys' premierships, celebrated his biggest race victory aboard Phelan Ready in the $2 million Magic Millions Classic at the Gold Coast on January 10.
