Winning Trainer: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman
"She is a filly that showed a lot early days and just didn't really come up last preparation so it is really rewarding to see her get that win today.
"First-up we thought she probably wasn't in the right part of the track and she was a little bit out of her comfort zone whereas today it was a great ride from Blake who gave her every chance."
Next: "Not too sure what her trip is going to be yet so not too sure how far we'll stretch her out but she's definitely got a nice race in her."
Winning Jockey: Blake Shinn
"I don't think there is a lot between these fillies and tactical speed and position in the run, getting a nice and getting out at the right time was pivotal.
"She was lucky to get the right run today.
"Her response was instant and we had to be patient. The tempo wasn't that strong and gave more of a kick than its last run."
