Initial fears that injuries sustained during the Diamond Jubilee Stakes could end her career have been dismissed with Moody eyeing the Group 1 Patinack Farm Classic (1200m) on the final day of the Melbourne Cup carnival.

"I have had my vets and chiropractors take some precautionary X-rays of Black Caviar,'' Moody said.
