Winning Trainer: James Cummings (foreman Sean Keogh interviewed)
On coming out of The Rosebud: "It looked like it was a strong form race going forward and while she had a good run in the race on the rail in The Rosebud, it was good to see her back it up again today.
On Troach as a filly: "She's a lovely, lovely style of filly. She's got plenty of scope but she's got plenty of pace too, so we're really delighted to be able to take out a Black Type, Listed race like this and the team will consider things like that (Thousand Guineas) going forward."
Winning Jockey: Craig Williams
On her immaturity: "When you look at her in the yard, she's a beautiful filly, she's got good scope about her and you've seen what she's done in Sydney, so it was a great move by James to find this race for her today.
"I'm lucky enough to get the steer, but she's still got a little bit more growing up to do. I still had to help manage her having her first run left-handed under race conditions, I was still dragging her around the last turn and I just thought she was really good and solid late."
On where she should head to this spring: "I love to stay in my lane and it's an election year in Victoria so let's just leave the placement for the trainer, James Cummings, and I'm grateful for the opportunity."
