Rose Davies "did everything she needed to do", according to coach Scott Westcott, on the way to defending her Australian 10,000-metre crown at Melbourne's Lakeside Stadium on Wednesday night.

Westcott said the win, in hot and humid conditions, puts the Newcastle 22-year-old in "the box seat" as she aims to qualify for the World Athletics Championships in the US state of Oregon in July (15-24) and the Commonwealth Games in the English city of Birmingham (July 28-August 8).
