Winning Trainer: Matthew Dunn (rep by Holly Julius)

“We’re really excited about this win. It has been a long time coming. Hopefully this gives him more confidence to move on this prep.

“He’s such a little sweetie. We love having him up here and Sydney seems to steal him all the time.

“He’s come back in grade again and that will give the confidence boost. Jim rode him perfectly and he went through his gears really well and got him in front at the right time.”

Winning Jockey: Jim Byrne

“It was a good tempo. Originally you thought that, they walked. They just didn’t go real quick at all.

“Ipswich is a track where momentum is key and you move a bit earlier than you would like but ultimately that was the key.”

Back in grade: “That was a major influence on the way he raced today. He is limited but it was the right race for him today and he was able to salute.”
