Winning Trainer: Tony Gollan

"You've got to time your run on him and Tyler did that really well. Even though he exposed him he didn't ask for him until late and he sprinted really quick today.

"Terrific ride, the low draw was important to him. Sunset Soiree, Ang's ride him him was really good. She got going on him at the right time and put her into the race which was good.

"The team raced well and it was good to get the quinella in the first."

Winning Jockey: Tyler Schiller

"He's got a really good turn-of-foot. Tony said he hasn't got a long one (sprint) so we just had to be a bit patient on him. I was hoping we'd stay off the fence, which I did, and the middle of the track feels really good.

"He let down with a good turn-of-foot.

"He felt like he had them at his mercy coming to the 200 (metre mark). He ambled up to them and I was trying to nurse him as long as I could and he put them away."

On the track: "The inside walks a but softer and the middle feels fantastic. It think it will play a little bit off the fence but I think it will dry out."
