"I think the really wet, testing track really played into her hands. Obviously I watched her races and saw that she gets back but not that far back. (Though) they did run along and I just thought I'd better get moving from the 600 (metre mark), get to the outside and she comes at them. Comes at them and goes bang.

"I was in a bit of a tussle with the leader but she put pay to them. Good win."

Wide draw: "I think if you draw one, that's a bit bad. I was able to sit four-wide with cover because they race quite compact and I knew that I wanted to go wide from the 600 anyway so the draw was no worry."
