Greig's gallopers have been in red-hot form having won five races at Condobolin in February before landing a winning double at Tottenham a fortnight back.

This time Greig captured the feature, the Nutrien Ag Solutions Ardlethan Picnic Cup (1600m), with $2.60 chance Gossip.

Ridden by stable jockey Leandro Ribeiro, the mare defeated Broo Boss (Ricky Blewitt, $7) by three-quarters of a length, with favourite The Chaplain (Anaelle Gangotena, $1.90) close up in third position.
