Winning Trainer: Chris Waller (rep by Jo Taylor)

“It certainly was a good win. Chris (Waller) sent her down her with a bit of confidence, actually. There were a few options around for her but he said after working her left-handed in Sydney that he felt she worked better that way around so we opted to bring her to Melbourne and if all goes well she will be backing up and going to the Oaks in Adelaide.

“She showed a very dominant performance. Give her a couple of day to get over the run and then the plan is for her to travel on later in the week.”

Winning Jockey: Michael Walker

“The plan was to make them work to get across her and she travelled quite keenly. When she went past the leader, she went even better. Even though she won easily, I thought she had a lot more up her sleeve. She had her ears pricked all the way up straight.

“Chris’ team have done a great jump placing her around this race so onwards and upwards towards and Oaks.

“That’ll be perfect (Oaks). I could have done another lap then. That’s why I’m buggered, I couldn’t pull her up after the race. She’s going well.”
