Winning Trainer: Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman (Moody speaking)
Always had a touch of class?: "She's a lovely type of mare and is owned by a breeding operation in Trilogy Racing and Blue Gum Farm. It's important to get that Stakes win on board and strike while the iron's hot with mares in form and it was a lovely ride, well executed, from Zac Spain."
Spain getting opportunities: "He's a no fuss, tradesman, part and parcel of the team. He works in well besides Trumby (Luke Nolen) and he's going to get a lot more opportunities in the next month while Trumby is probably up on his fishing boat up on the Murray. He'll get back on Sheza Alibi courtesy of that ride too."
Winning Jockey: Zac Spain
Confidence to pick up the leader: "I did. She had been going really well. We just wanted to ride her with a bit of cover. If I had to go back to get that cover, sobeit. She travelled up really well and she let down super."
Working with her: "I galloped her on Tuesday. She galloped by herself because she's a little bit quirky. We went out there, had a little look around at the grass and I couldn't have been happier with her. When the barriers came out, I wasn't so happy, but Pete and Kat had her in tremendous order and we got the job done."
