Winning Trainer: Phillip Stokes
"Stacky knows the horse well. We thought El Soleado would lead and we'd sit outside him.
"He doesn't like horses around him and we knew he'd be strong. Every prep he seems to be getting better.
"We raised the bar last start and he's in his right race here."

Winning Jockey: Daniel Stackhouse
"The game plan today paid off. He's a horse that doesn't like to be cluttered up inside other horses wo we had to make sure he had clear room.
"He travelled so well and I had plenty of horse going into the straight. He kicked, cruised and kicked again."
