Winning Trainer: Mick Price and Mick Kent Jnr. (Mick Price interviewed)

“A winner is always impressive, isn’t it. A two-year-old when everyone is on them but I didn’t think, looking at the mounting yard - that Contemporary was a beautiful horse so I was happy to see it run second.

“The question is what to do with her now, I guess. I see Mildred won this race last year and backed up into the Maribyrnong Trial. Given that she’s had experience down the straight, I’m not saying this one will but if Grahame Begg can do it I can have a look at it.

“She’s been workmanlike, hasn’t missed a beat, and she’s still a bit wintry in the coat. Her knees are good, never been shinsore.

“She’s just a good workmanlike filly who will train on.”

On Profiteer on Friday night: “Profiteer is good. It just depends on how the race is run. Miss Albania is drawn out. It just depends on what sort of first-half he gets. But the horse comes out pretty quick.

“If they leave him alone he’s going to be a chance but there’s some nice horses sitting off him in that race. Anyway, hail Mary.”

Winning Jockey: Patrick Moloney

One ride for the day: “Pretty thankful to the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr team. They’ve been giving me a good crack of late and I’ve been in there doing the yards.

“I trialled up this filly and my last city ride for them was River View so my last two rides for them have been successful. Hopefully there’s a few more to come.

“She only had the one jump out coming into today at Sandown. She was having a good blow after the race and there’s natural improvement there. Exciting that she can come here probably half a run short and get the job done.

“She’s had a good look at the straight and there’ll be a nice race for her at some stage.”
