Winning Trainer: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman

"It was a beautiful ride. He rode a nice patient race on her, got cover. He waited and waited.

"He was twitching to ask her to go and she was traveling so nicely underneath him but he just timed it to perfection and she's been able to finish the race off so strongly.

Thousand Guineas possible: "Defintely. If she pulls up well then she's probably earned her spot there."

Winning Jockey: Billy Egan

On last start: "She was going this good when she won last start but she didn't have that many horses to pass last time so she was a little lost when she got to the front.

"Today she has one more to drag her a long way down the straight and she was very willing to pass it but when she hit the front she was still a touch green but she has a touch of class there.

Wider barriers suit: "I think so. She drew in the other day at Pakenham in a maiden grade so I was able to use the gate a little bit.

"Just shows how good she is with that turn-of-foot ridden conservatively."
