Winning Trainer: Chris Waller (Jo Taylor speaking)

Horse in sweet spot at present: “He seems to be thriving. He seems to be coping quite well with the travel up and down and Chris continues to place him perfectly. ”

Oliver’s ride perfect: “You are always at ease when you’ve got someone like Damien on board. He klnows exactly how to rate these types of races. He did that perfectly today.”

Winning Jockey: Damien Oliver

Plan on leading: “I had a bit of an open mind. He’s not the quickest out sometimes. I thought there might been a lack of pace, it’s when they slowdown midrace that’s when he gets a bit keen. Today he jumped cleanly so I was always going to be forward and I was happy to take it up and he settled nicely in front.”

Strong to the line: “He had a nice time in front and he was able to increase lovely from the 600 (metres). He’s in great form this horse and he was too strong.”
