"The team made the plan to roll forward if we began well enough today which really suited the race. The 1200 metres and the blinkers were the key to today's performance and it was quite easy for him.
"(The blinkers helped) him travel better underneath me and he lifted when I asked. He travelled really comfortably so if the future he'll be able to get over a bit more ground."
On the track: "The track has held up good. They're getting their toe into it and its going to one of those days where the showers will be on and off all day but it should hold up well."
