Winning Trainer: Brad Widdup
Win capped a good day for stable: "It's great. Full credit to all my staff back at home. It's been a great day and it's their reward.
"It was hard to watch last week, I tell you, but it's nice to watch this week. "
On the win: "She landed in a great spot. That's the benefit, Kerrin knows her. She began well and she was good under the weight."
What did she do during the week to back-up: "They are all a bit different. With her, I didn't do a lot. Some you have got to keep an eye on and have to do something, but she was pretty straightforward. And, last week was only a gallop."
Plans now for Tintookie: "I'll have to have a think about it. She's a Group Three winner. We paid thirty grand for her, so she's been a great advertisement for the stable and been very consistent. She's got a great bunch of owners. I'm rapt.
Winning Jockey: Kerrin McEvoy
On the win: "I didn't give her one of the best of rides last week, and thanks to Brad for putting me back on and backing her up. It was a good call. She was able to get a better start today and utilise the draw. She travelled well throughout and was able to kick and give a nice finish coming home. She was down on the limit with 53 kilos, getting a nice weight pull off a few of those better performed mares but she's improving all the time."
Beaten Jockeys:
Rachel King (Queen Of The Ball): "Happy enough with her today. Probably lost some confidence first up. Hopefully got it back up today."
Tom Marquand (She's All Class): "A bit awkward coming out of the gates. Ended up back turning in. Galloped on OK. A run better than her first one this prep. She's working towards something."
Tim Clark (C'est Magique): "Nearing another win. Racing really well."
Zac Lloyd (Po Kare Kare): "Very annoying the horse is going so well. Just doesn't jump."
Regan Bayliss (Call Di): "Disappointing."
Tommy Berry (Wee Nessy): "Needed the run today. Will improve a lot on that today."
Sam Clipperton (Diamond Dealer): "She ran another honest race."
Jason Collett (Razeta): "Worked home OK. A bit softer ground and a bit further."
Molly Bourke (Byron Belle): "Ran well. Just needs a drop in grade."
Tom Sherry (Miss Hellfire): "Gave me a good feel. Didn't have a whole lot of room today."
Jay Ford (Eagle Nest): "Nah she drew wide. We rolled forward. The work took its toll."
Dylan Gibbons (Powerful Peg): "Tremendous. Wide alley took its toll late."
Tyler Schiller (Rainbiel): "She has gone terrific. Just temperamental again.She has missed the kick being drawn inside waiting for too long. Just gets a bit impatient. She's hit the line super. Still in great form."
Reece Jones (Street Gossip): "Will strip fitter for that and improve over further."
