“When he sees clear air his ears will often prick and have a good look around. He did that on the way to the start and I was aware that he was going to be like that.
“It was a matter of keeping his rhythm nice and neat. We got him into a really good stride.
“He has a remarkable turn-of-foot as we’ve seen in Sydney and he showed that here today. He’s a horse well and truly on the rise.”
Newmarket nominated: “He’ll only carry 50.5 kilos, I think, so he’s won down here now and with that sort of weight on his back I’d certainly encourage the stable to head that way.
“I can’t ride him, of course. Only half of me would make that weight but I’m really thrilled to get a winner here today and happy to make my family proud watching at home.”
