Winning Trainer: Tony & Calvin McEvoy (Tony speaking)
Pleased to win after frustrating last start - now what's next: "We'll go back to Flemington and look for a 2000-metres race there in three weeks or so.
"He's just in really good form and he is holding it. He's very honest and I really enjoyed that today."
Winning Jockey: Harry Coffey
"It was pretty easy. He was the best horse in the race. There wasn't a lot of speed on paper. Damian Lane went forward on Global Eclipse and just encouraged me on early.
"I had an easy time coming up the hill which is always nice in staying races here. Built it up along the side.
"We probably didn't go brilliantly quick but is all suited him and he's a lovely horse to ride. He's a gentleman. He's a stable favourite.
"He hadn't run for a while but his form this time around has been very good. After today's effort, a bit of confidence might get him rocking now."
