On the win: Well, it's just wonderful to have people back on course, particularly for MRC members day, She's been progressive is perhaps that was the composition of this field.

On the filly: I thought the last start at Geelong was very, very credible and she had missed a beat. You know when she come back you know work had been tremendous on Tuesday morning and you know with the weight factor and the barrier. It certainly gives us a lot of confidence.

Future options:  I'll have to have a little chat to Jye (stretching to 1600m), but I don't know about the 1600,  I think 1400 might be the mark for the moment. She still looks like she's on bridle a little bit in the run there today, but a beautiful ride from Jye and she presented at the right time and the rest was up to her. Plenty of opportunities for the three-year-old fillies in that distance range in the weeks and months to come. Good luck with you. Gonna have some fun.

Winning Jockey: Jye McNeil

On the ride: “It’s my first ride on her and she had a good draw today so it was a matter of beginning well. She landed behind the leader off a moderate tempo - she was a little bit keen with her head in the air resenting that tempo but when they quickened up about the 600 we blended into the race quite nicely. She actually hit the front a long way out and had a good look around and there’s a little bit of improvement in her, she did a good job.

On the track: “There’s a little bit of kick back from the rain we had this morning and it’s playing relatively even
