Winning Trainer: Kelly Schweida
"It worked out alright. You're always worried when they're back and she got shunted wide on the corner, but Ceejay knows her well. Very proud of her.
Next: "She'll back up into the Subzero. She's got a good back-up record. She ran third in that race last year after The Wave and she won after Ipswich Cup Day so she'll back up in the 2200 (metres).
This week: "Nothing. She'll go to the beach."
Winning Jockey: Ceejay Graham
"I'm so thankful to Kelly for sticking with me. It would have been very tempting to put a big name on. It really means a lot to me to get an opportunity like this and she's just a star.
"It was sticky from the draw but we ended up in a lovely position. The way the track has been playing we could have easily tried to ride her out of her comfort zone but just had to be confident that she was the best horse in the race - that she was.
"Her track rider, Glen, I have to give a massive shout out to him. He knows her so well, like the back of his hand and he know that she was right for today."
