Winning Trainer: Richard & Will Freedman (rep by Brian Smith)

"What a lovely filly. She's had a bit of bad luck with bad draws but she was down in weight today.

"She was meant to run at Ipswich last week but they had the guts to pull her out when the track was so bad. That takes a lot of doing but they got their reward today.

"The thing that is so great, Trelawney Stud, they own her in New Zealand and they're great friends of mine and they Freedman boys. I've got to thank them fo trusting me with these horses.

"I'm very proud to be able to win one for them today."

Winning Jockey: Jason Collett

"Fantastic (day). I had a wide trip and it was a very good effort by her. I had to start asking her to improve before the 600 and I thought this won't end well.

"She actually came up under me. Brian and Richard (and Will) had her in really good order and I was able to wait until she got into the straight and ask her to improve again. Very good.

"It's good for the Kiwis, Trelawney Stud there."
