TRAINER Richard Jolly made a big move on the premiership-leading Mark Kavanagh stable at Morphettville with a winning treble.
After trailing by three he closed to be within one-and-a-half wins of the Melbourne Cup-winning trainer following the victories of Summery, Lapel and Get Set.
Get Set had to share line honours with former stablemate Changing Eyes when deadheating in the Allan Scott Park Handicap.
