Scott admitted she was still 'on cloud nine' this week after enjoying her first city success when Lord Von Costa won at Flemington on Saturday.
It was an emotional win for connections with it not only being Scott's first metropolitan winner but it also continued a brilliant comeback from the seven-year-old.

The $1.3 million Kosciuszko will be the long-term goal for Lord Von Costa but Scott will target the Town Plate on April 30 first.
"You've still got to get a slot, have him up and about closer to the race so what we think we'll do at this stage is put him in the paddock and target the Wagga Town Plate," she said.
Scott said the increase in prize money to $200,000 for the Town Plate made it too hard to resist.
Lord Von Costa ran second behind Santa Ana Lane in the 2017 Wagga Town Plate.
