On getting a deserved win: "I guess today if you followed her along you were starting to lose a bit of face so she had to put her hand up today and she did. A great ride from Jason. He summed it up and it was pretty easy watch throughout."
"She was bred with my father's nomination, Brian Nutt and the team have been my number one supporters since I got here. He's a great family friend. Thrilled for the ownership group. Hopefully onto better things."
On next run: "She will go to the Metropolitan. Hopefully Fun Fact will go there too. She probably goes then down to Melbourne."
Winning Jockey: Jason Collett
On the win: "Everyone knows she has been knocking on the door. Had a couple of unlucky runs. Today was great. I just said to Bianca the strapper I never felt she was going to be beaten when she landed in that position. Off a pretty moderate tempo yeah it was easy."
On looking for further: "Look she is. She had a nice turn of foot today. Really happy with that."
Beaten Jockeys:
Glen Boss (Selino): "He ran outstanding. He will be very hard to beat his next start over the right distance."
James McDonald (Kukeracha): "Needs to lift but hard to win when you don't have much luck and the rail is on fire."
Hugh Bowman (Montefilia): "Delighted with her."
Josh Parr (Spirit Ridge): "Unusually disappointing."
Nash Rawiller (Shared Ambition): "He went really well. Second up today in the conditions that have worsened so I thought he battled on well. Last 100m he was still lifting for me."
Regan Bayliss (Master Of Wine): "A little bit disappointing. They didn't go overly hard. I just would have liked to have seen him finish off a bit better.
Brock Ryan (Attorney): "Very good run. Got back and travelled strongly. Good through the line.
Sam Clipperton (Young Rascal): "Slowly improving."
Robbie Dolan (Fun Fact): "Wasn't beaten far. Looking for further. Maybe stick the blinkers back on him. But he's going in the right direction."
Tim Clark (Entente): "Ran really well second up. He improved nicely."
Andrew Adkins (Zeyrek): "Huge effort. Second up at the 2000m. Was a really good run. Hit the line strongly and looking for further. Going to be an impressive horse in time."
