Peter Robl gave the Patinack Farm team something to cheer about when he capped off his comeback from a shocking fall in December with a victory on So Anyway at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Robl returned to the saddle last Saturday at Rosehill after being sidelined since he came off worst of three jockeys in a pile-up at the same venue on December 10.

The former bush jockey, who now rides for Nathan Tinkler's Patinack Farm, suffered a fractured vertebra and spent the bulk of his time off with his neck in a brace.

So Anyway, who started at $26, was having her second start and was given a beautiful run along the fence before fending off Not A Snip Of Doubt ($4.20) by a nose with $3.70 favourite No Comment a half-head away third in a thrilling finish to the Grand Armee Handicap (1000m).

It was so tight that No Comment's rider Glyn Schofield asked Robl who he thought had won the race shortly after the post.

And Robl, who is renowned for his one-liners, didn't let the opportunity pass.

"I told him that it's been such a long time since I've ridden a winner that I couldn't tell you," Robl said.

"That's my first winner since early December and I can't thank everyone at Patinack Farm enough for their support while I've been off."

Trainer Jason Coyle gave So Anyway's strapper a high five on his way to the enclosure before saying what Robl's win meant to the Patinack team.

"I'm over the moon for Peter and so is everybody," Coyle said.

"It's been a difficult time but he's always kept his head and been focused on coming back and he really deserves this and this means a lot to all of us."

Coyle said the stable had a huge opinion of So Anyway who will be aimed at the Black Opal Stakes at Canberra on March 8.

The Chris Waller-trained Miss Mushu ($4.40), who was a $800,000 yearling purchase and is owned by Bob Ingham, battled hard to run a close fourth.

Meanwhile, trainer Gai Waterhouse and the Gooree Pastoral Syndicate appear to have something special on their hands after Autumn Ember remained unbeaten from two starts following her win over Messenger in the Heat Of The Moment Handicap (1400m).

The track was upgraded from a slow six to a dead five shortly before the first race.
