Patinack Farm's trainer John Thompson is in two minds whether to send So Anyway to Brisbane or keep her at home for easier races after her narrow win in Friday's Listed Dark Jewel Classic at Scone.

"She is nominated for a couple of races in Brisbane including the Winter Stakes," Thompson said.

"If she was to go north that is probably the race we would aim her at.

"However she will need to completely recover from this run to make the trip.

"She is no champion, just a good bread and butter horse.

"The ride by Peter Robl was what won the race for her.

"It was a gem of a ride.

"She jumped from barrier one and did not go around a horse."

Robl allowed So Anyway ($13) to settle in third and fourth position on the fence then pushed through at the 300 metres to take the lead.

Purrpurrlena ($15) and Melpomene ($9) both issued strong challenges but So Anyway held on to win by a neck from Purrpurrlena with Melpomene a half-head away third in the 1400m feature.

Top trainer Peter Snowden, who had won the Dark Jewel in the previous two years, started three horses but the best he could do was third with Melpomene.

Meanwhile, the combination of Jim Cassidy and trainers Jim and Greg Lee produced another big-race win when Keepin' The Dream stormed home from near last to win the Scone Cup (1600m).

Keepin' The Dream ($10) won by a neck from Snow Alert ($8) with Tagus ($7) a further long neck away third.

"That was a very knowledgeable ride on a great track by an outstanding rider," Jim Lee said.

"Jim has been riding for us for at least 15 years, possibly longer, and we have won some very good races.

"It is a great thrill to win this Cup."

Lee has not nominated Keepin' The Dream for any races in Brisbane and is not overly-keen to take him up there.

"I will have a look at the program but a lot will depend on how he comes through this run," Lee said.

"I might just keep him at home.

"The key to this horse is to keep him to 1600 metres.

"We thought he was going to get further but each time we tried him over more ground he was found wanting.

"I think next year will be his best.

"He is a five-year-old but we have looked after him."

Lee said there were no excuses for the horse's fourth in the Rowley Mile at Hawkesbury last start.

"I think the two factors in his favour here were the big track and the good going," he said.
