On the win: "Great effort. He was a fresh horse on the scene, he found the right spot, we were able to control the race, and to his credit, he ran out a good strong 955, as we see with the time. He was well prepared, and he's got plenty of improvement in him."
Pre-race confidence: "Well, Richie went home after the first race… he must have had somewhere to be, but the horse had trialled well, and I did speak to Richie, and he presented in great order.
"So I did have a bit of confidence. I thought we'd improve from the run, which we will, but he's a race horse and he dug deep today."
