Her thoughts when a run wasn't there: "I was just thinking about the phone call after the race. I wasn't much looking forward to it but I'd be very happy to give him a ring now.
"It was a great win. He was really tough through the line and it was great to see."
Next: "We'll hopefully head towards the Toorak and hope that we find ourselves a bit higher in the ratings points now and don't find ourselves with the same problem that we did last week.
"This win should boost him up a little bit and I think if we can give him a crack at the Toorak, they'll know he was there."
Winning Jockey: Luke Nolen
His thoughts during the run: "I knew I was alright. I knew I was on the best horse in the race. I was confident.
"I did get tight for a stride but he was very good through the line. Patience is a virtue. We were nice a patient and it paid off.
"You ask him to go but he feels like an elite horse so we'll have some fun with him for sure."
Should he head to the Toorak: "As long as he gets some weight."
