Winning Trainer: Simon Zahra (Anthony Peasnall speaking)
On the quick back-up from last Saturday: He drew wide last start which made it tough from the gate, but today he got the perfect run right exactly to instructions.
Have you spoken to Simon between races? I did - he was really happy with the first one and I'm sure he’d be wrapt now.
Winning Jockey: Josh Richards
On the run: “He towed me into it nicely, I just had to pick him from the 600 (metres) and he started travelling nicely I just needed somewhere to go but then we got a lovely run through.
On an association with Simon Zahra: “It would be great to form a relationship, very grateful for the ride today. It’s good to get support from these stables and hopefully we can stick our head in there and get a few more.
