Winning Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott (Adrian speaking)
"Lovely to see the nice progression from her. It is important for her to come away at this point of her career (as) she is still very lightly raced and still new.
"I think this trip away is really going to help her going forward.
"We've got bigger things in store and by no means have you seen the best of her yet. She's a very progression filly and I think today has been a real positive and we'll see that improvement in the spring.
"She's got phenomenal balance, everything is in proportion and everything is as it should be. You could look at her all day parading there.
"Great to see her run up to those looks and she's got the pedigree to match.
Next: "Vin (Cox) is here today and we'll have a chat with Yulong and Coolmore with regard to what we do with her. Initial thoughts are looking towards the spring. We want to look after her and we did hold over a nomination for the Sires' next week.
"Whether that is something we want to look at, it is there in the back of our minds but there are a lot of things to consider other than that."
Winning Jockey: Adam Hyeronimus
"She's a very nice filly and she just feels like she's so far advanced for her age.
"Measuring her up with the other two-year-olds that we have in our stable, she's one of the better fillies in the stable and that is saying something as Gai and Adrian have basically won every two-year-old race this season.
"It is pleasing, pleasing for the owners who have invested a lot of money. They've got that stakes win now.
"We've exposed some very good two-year-olds in the last couple of weeks - a colt and a filly - it is exciting for the staff, too, that we have these (rising) three-year-olds to take into the spring,
The filly's action: "It is effortless. Her work on Tuesday morning was sensational. I probably didn't want to be outside the leader but just the way it jumped and the way it panned out, that's where I was.
"It is never an easy position to be in in any race let alone two-year-olds. She's learning and at the top of the straight when the leader dropped off I had to take the field up.
"She came to the middle of the track, skipped away and I could feel her pick up again when the second horse came to her.
"She's a very nice filly with a bright future and hopefully we can look forward to group one races in the spring."
