It might have come a week later than he wanted but premier trainer Chris Waller was thankful jockey Tommy Berry got his timing right at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Berry left his finish late and was beaten on the Waller-trained Saigon Tea in a Melbourne Cup carnival race at Flemington last week.

However, he made amends on Religify in the Sportsyear Sprint at Warwick Farm.

"I thought it was Saigon Tea again today," Waller said to Berry after the race.

Berry was quick to reply: "I was a bit more in contention today."

Waller gave the 23-year-old jockey credit where it was due, saying Berry rode Religify with great confidence.

"Jockeys like Tommy don't get fazed by it if trainers put them under pressure," Waller said.

Religify ($4) came from fourth at the 300m to end the unbeaten run of favourite Craftiness ($1.80) by a neck with another half-length to Aroused ($9.50) in third.

The winner was second-up after having more than a year off with a minor injury and his Warwick Farm victory took his record to two wins from three starts.

Waller believes the four-year-old is suited to sprinting and plans to keep the horse to shorter races for as long as possible.

He hopes Religify can graduate to Saturday grade in the coming weeks.
