Winning Trainer: Tony Gollan

"I wasn't sure what happened at Eagle Farm, to be honest. She did go a little bit quick down the back straight but I thought got her top really quickly and had her head to the side and she didn't look that horse she did when she won her maiden at Doomben.

"We were always really keen to ride her in a manner which we saw today. We didn't think we'd be there - we thought probably we'd lead - but in her work whenever we've sat her off horses she'd relax really well to the point today that she was quite relaxed into the straight.

"She was the first horse under riding but gee she responded well. She's a filly we've got a huge opinion of and she's a beautiful horse. She was a lovely yearling when we purchased her and she's always needed a bit of time but it is good to see her win a race like this and hopefully we can back up and see her here next week."

Guineas next week: "Hopefully we'll see her in the Guineas next week so we'll have a good week with her.

"She's a gorgeous filly and has got a lot of upside to her. I'm only just scratching the surface with her.

"She's built like a big colt. A beautiful horse. I always thought this trip or 1400 is right up her alley so there is a lot to look forward to for the team."

Winning Jockey: Craig WIlliams

"Credit to this filly and Tony Gollan. She's a lovely filly.

"I was really impressed by the way she looked in the yard and she's got a lot more upside.

"We thought we might lead the race but we didn't have the speed and she showed a bit more versatility today and showed how solid she is."

Did the filly pull up well: "She might have pulled up better than me and she's in good hands."
