Trainer Kelly Schweida will chase winter carnival riches with his emerging three-year old filly Seesawing after she claimed consecutive victories at Doomben.

Seesawing is by Wattle Brea sire Easy Rocking and is a half-sister to the winners Playground Express (Success Express) and Monchenglabach (Secret Savings).  Their dam Playground is a winning sister to Recognition St (LR) winner General Minolta and a half-sister to Tattersall's Mile (LR) winner The Kildare Kid (Heart of Darkness).  She has an unraced 2yo filly named Single Play (Not A Single Doubt) and a yearling colt by Cape Cross.
