Winning Trainer: Chris Waller
On her form: "She had some good form in the spring. We were aiming for the Oaks and she didn't stay. So her shorter distance form was good. And she's backed it up today. She doesn't mind a wet track, obviously.
Plans going forward. Up to Queensland?: "Not too sure. Obviously winning these types of races are important. She's not up the top level, but my job, or our job, is to try and keep her now at this level and try and get her a little bit better as well. "
Winning Jockey: Regan Bayliss

Beaten Jockeys:
Jamie Kah (Kristilli): "Didn't handle that track at all."
Tommy Berry (Inhibitions): "Couldn't have given her a worse ride if I tried."
Dylan Gibbons (Chica Mojito): "Really nice filly. Just didn't jump well. Made it tough from there but did a good job to run fourth."
James McDonald (French Endeavour): "She just travelled in the ground."
Tim Clark (Pajanti): "Thought she ran quite well. Lacks a bit of maturity still but I think she can get to that grade next time."
Chad Schofield (Hellbent On You): "Has done a good job this prep but found that track too testing."
Jay Ford (Hasty Honey): "Honest effort. Jumped well and we capitalised on that. Travelled well and tried hard.'
Zac Lloyd (Scarlet Oak): "Fantastic run. She couldn't have impressed me any more. Very nice filly going forward. Tough ask first run in Australia on that track and she conducted herself very well."
Rachel King (Unique Ambition): "Couldn't get her feet out of that ground."
Tyler Schiller (It's A Wonder): "I thought sher ran terrific. Jumped better than what she usually does today but we were happy to settle back to get around them.I thought the ground was better out where she was too."
