Winning Trainer: Peter & Paul Snowden (rep by Angelo Angelone)
"The main thing from that was that she jumped well and put herself outside of the speed.
"She wanted to go a little bit quicker but she settled nicely and when she was challenged she kicked.
'Now that she's got the win and th prizemoney, Peter and Paul can plan wherever they'd like to go with her. She might go out for a break, we'll see."
Winning Jockey: Damien Oliver
"She's a very precocious filly. She began awkwardly but showed good speed. Travelled well outside the leader. The leader probably wasn't going quick enough for her on the bend so she took it up a fair way out.
"The second horse put a head or a neck on her up the straight so she did a good job to come back and win nicely."
On Glen Boss: "We had a good chat yesterday. I thought it would be good to have a good conversation the day before when we're a bit more relaxed and occupied.
"He's had a wonderful career and certainly one of the best jockeys I've come up against in my career. No better big time performer.
"We'll miss him in the jockeys ranks. He's still going out at the top of his game but I'll still be doing my best to knock him off today."
