“She goes good. We’ve known that. Even her run at The Valley was good. You won’t get that (30-1) again.

Dwayne Dunn scoring a winner in town after a run of outs: “He hasn’t ridden for me for, probably, before he went to Hong Kong. I used to take a few horses to Adelaide and we had a couple who won listed races and he used to ride for me over there. This is our first catch up in a long time.”

What’s next: “She’s very immature. We’ll go back to the Magic Millions for million dollar restricted races.”

Winning Jockey: Dwayne Dunn

“She ran terrific at her first start at The Valley. Slow away, wide at the corner and found the line nicely. She’d since trialled up well so it wasn’t a shock to anyone at the stable to see what we saw today. She looks immature in the yard and she’s doing everything on natural ability which is fantastic.

Sprinter or can get further: “I think she’ll get further. I had to come back at the 300 and get to the inside to get some clear room. She had a turn-of-foot and acceleration and, as I said, when you look at her in the yard she looks more like a yearling than a two-year-old so with her natural ability hopefully everything else falls into place.”
